Oliver Kern from Skiresort.info has set a new world record for the number of different ski lifts rides taken in one day. The previous record of 80 ski lifts was beaten on 11 February 2025 in the Sälen ski region in Sweden. In the ski areas of Stöten, Hundfjället (SkiStar), Tandådalen (SkiStar), Högfjället (SkiStar), Lindvallen (SkiStar) and Kläppen, 101 different ski lifts were used in just under 11 hours.

Three ski lifts were skied twice and, as a bonus, 6 SunKid conveyor belts were used.

Oliver’s  early morning skiing started at 7.30am on Tuesday in the Stöten ski resort. In the first hour, the 9 open lifts were mastered without any problems. Then it was off by car to the Hundfjället ski area, a sub-area of SkiStar Sälen, just 20 kilometres away. The lifts opened at 9am and the challenge continued. In Hundfjället (SkiStar), 20 different ski lifts were used.

Then at around 1pm, Oliver Kern was pulled to the car park by the östra transport lift, where the car was already waiting and it was off to Högfjället (SkiStar), 5 kilometres away, within 6 minutes. 12 other lifts were used in Högfjellet. A three-seater chairlift and a t-bar lift took Oliver Kern to the Lindvallen (SkiStar) section of the ski area.

There was no time for a break during the 11-hour ski day and it was only possible to eat and drink in the lifts. At 5.30pm Oliver Kern went to the Kläppen ski area, 19 kilometres away. Here Oliver Kern skied the remaining 9 ski lifts. The 10-passenger Gondol Sälen gondola lift from Doppelmayr took Oliver via a middle station to the summit, where the official world record certificate was handed over after 101 different ski lift rides.
