Castle Mountain spokesperson Cole Fawcett said the last lift was installed 20 years ago, so acquiring this four-seater is welcomed addition. Angel Express will be the hill's first high-speed chair.No snow, no problem: Ski resorts push season passes over pay-as-you-go tickets to secure sales A Sunshine news release said Angel covered a vertical lift of 1,244 feet in just over five minutes and made history as the first high-speed quad in the Canadian Rockies.
