Ramshead Express Quad is a four-person detachable chairlift located at Killington Ski Resort. The chairlift runs from the Ramshead Base Area, up to the current top of the ski resort on Ramshead Mountain. From the top of the lift, skiers and riders may access all of Ramshead terrain, consisting of beginner and easy intermediate groomers and glades as well as many of Killington's terrain parks. As a result, the chairlift serves as the primary family-friendly and terrain park lift. From the top of the lift, skiers and riders may also access the K-1 Base Area for access to Snowdon, Killington, and Skye peaks. The lift was manufactured by Poma and installed at the resort in 1996. The lift replaced the 1962 Poma double chairlift of the same name. The previous chairlift traveled up to the true summit of Ramshead Mountain but this lift stops short of the summit due to wind issues and to help transition Ramshead to more of a family-friendly experience.

From the top of the chairlift, skiers and riders may access all of Snowdon's terrain, which consists of a variety of intermediate and advanced terrain, as well as the Canyon and North Ridge areas via the Killink trail. The chairlift features blue bubbles, protecting riders from inclement weather. The chairlift was manufactured by Leitner-Poma and installed at the resort in 2018. The chairlift replaced the 1992 Poma Snowdon fixed-grip quad, which was relocated to the South Ridge area at the resort.

"My biggest biggest biggest goal is one to have fun for myself, but also two to be able to break the boundaries of the boxes that people get put in. So in terms of the extreme sports, it's a huge honor to be able to be the first free skier to the podium in three events as a woman and it makes me very hopeful about what the next generation will be able to accomplish." -Gu Ailing Eileen on "What does it mean to be the first woman to win medals in three events at the Olympics (in freestyle)" #WinterOlympics #Beijing2022
Gu Ailing (also known as Eileen Gu) eased to top podium of her odds-on halfpipe at the Beijing 2022 here on Friday, which is her second gold medal for host China. Gu, 18, grabbed her first gold in the big air event in her Olympic debut on Feb. 8 in Beijing, and won the silver in the slopestyle here on Feb. 15. Best at halfpipe in the three events she attended, Gu scored 93.25 points in her first run to lead the 12-strong final standings, collecting 95.25 points in her second run to extend the lead and sealed the win before her third run. Gu was the last competitor came out in every run in the final as she topped the qualification with 95.50 on Thursday. Before her third run on Friday, all the other finalists could not surpass her definitely. Then Gu made an easy run to celebrate her triumph. In the three-run final, Canadian skier Cassie Sharpe took the silver with her stable performances. Her best score was 90.75 in her third run and the worst was 89.00 in her first run. The bronze went to Rachael Darker, also a Canadian, with her first-run score of 87.75. Gu's teammates Li Fanghui and Zhang Kexin finished fifth and seventh, both with their first-run scores.
