Man Rides 101 Different Ski Lifts in A Day
Published : 12-Feb-2025 07:14
Skier Oliver Kern has set a new world record by riding 101 different ski lifts in a single day.
Kern, who runs the website skiResort.info and already holds multiple skiing world records, chose the resort of Sälen in Sweden, which runs 104 lifts across four of its ski areas, for his record attempt on Tuesday. Sälen also has more than 12 hours of operating from 7.30 am to approximately 7 pm giving the maximum time to ski all the lifts …with some careful planning.
Originally aiming to beat a recently recorded record of 80 lifts in a day skied in the KitzSki and SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser – Brixental areas of Austria less than a fortnight ago, Kern passed that total with ease and carried on to make 101 lifts before the skiing day ended.
Oliver Kern originally set the world record for most lifts skied in a day back in 2007 and is no stranger to subsequently regaining the title. On 8th December 2007, he skied 52 different ski lifts in one day in the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental.
That record was broken in February 2008 by another skier leading Kern to take it back on 27th January 2009 and skied 70 different ski lifts in one day. That record lasted for 16 years until last month 2025 and now Oliver has it back once more.
