They are not running Treasure on a reduced operating speed because conditions are marginal, and it's certainly not to overwhelm the trails. I skied here from 10:15am to 1:30pm and there was never a line amongst the 3 chairlifts that were open, and the lot closest to the base lodge was never full at all. Because Wolf Creek is so secluded in the San Juans it makes getting there incredibly hard to travel to; case-in-point the area sees relatively low skier traffic throughout the season. Therefore, it is somewhat justified that *not* running the lift at full speed everyday makes sense, but is still is a pain in the butt.
That lift looks brand new wtf
I think they are running it slow because the conditions are marginal and they don't want to overwhelm the trails.
