The speed of the ski lift will depend on the type of lift.
There are detachable grip lifts that can run between 900 and 1200 feet per minute (fpm). At Killington the detachable lifts include, both gondolas, Superstar, Ramshead, Needles Eye, Skye Peak and the Snowshed quads. I believe only the Skye Ship Gondola runs at 1200 fpm.
The remaining Killington lifts have fixed grips (the part of the chair that grips the rope). The speed of a fixed grip will depend on the number of people each chair holds. Maximum allowable speeds vary from State to State but speaking generally: doubles- 550 fpm; triples- 500 fpm; quads- 450 fpm
