About this lift

The Mercury SuperChair

The Mercury SuperChair serves the upper half of Peak 9. It's a high-speed quad with 1,466 feet of vertical, and it's the lift for Peak 9's wide blue cruisers like Bonanza, Columbia and Cashier.

There are a few blacks and doubles nearby too, but most people ride Mercury for the blues.

Quick tip

Ski & snowboard rental

Book online before you arrive and pick your gear up in town the evening before. The morning rush at the base shops can eat your first hour, and booking ahead can be cheaper.

Quick tip

Lift tickets & the Epic Pass

Breck is on the Epic Pass. Buying a ticket at the window on the day is the most expensive way up the hill, so buy ahead online or look at an Epic Day Pass if you're here for a few days.
