Iron Horse was installed in 1968 by Riblet, a double chair. It served the new Iron Horse Ridge expansion, as it was called back then. In it, there were many expert trails, as well as several advanced trails, and a few intermediate ones as well, and also a hike up to Murdock Bowl. The lift was renamed to Condor, as the bird theme came in, and the ridge would be then known as Super Condor Ridge. Eventually, in 1998, Condor was replaced with a new high speed lift, to cut down on the over 13 minute ride. This was the 3rd detachable lift built at The Canyons, as ASC strived to improve the lift system.

Super Condor Express is a Garaventa CTEC high speed quad. It uses Garaventa AK-4 detachable grips, CTEC bail chairs and sheaves, and Stealth II terminals. It has the highest vertical climb of any lift at Park City, and is the third longest, dwarfed only by Crescent and Orange Bubble Express lifts. Design speed is 1,070 fpm. The lift was running a slower 965 fpm, which is still a decent speed, but resulted in a ride time over 7 minutes. This lift has plenty of steep faces, for those who would not like to ski Ninety Nine 90's crazy, rolling terrain. These faces do not require hiking, but one can hike up to Murdock Bowl, and ski the much more open bowls.
