Quickdraw is the high speed quad that takes you from the small village/cabin area to the top of Beaconsfield. This one chair services a ton of terrain. The other lifts service lower parts of runs that Quickdraw is used to access.

Apex is the closest to Vancouver of the Okanogan resorts, and is pretty good value overall.
