Poor Pow Mow. I hope it doesn’t get any more lifts or upgrades. It really peaked in the early 00’s before Hidden Lake Express and before they started charging for Lightning Ridge.

Interesting they still have Red Chairs to sell, I remember picking mine up last June and it looked like they had sold all of them

Doppelmayr’s marketing department never fails to impress me. Whether it’s their beautiful youtube videos with soundtracks that have no business being as good as they are, to their very Apple ‘esk yearbook and new logo/website, you’d think they are a tech company from Silicon Valley, not a ski lift manufacturer from the Austrian Alps

Well, they are just as much an American company as they are Austrian! Why not do things with style.

It would be good to finally get Big Bear and Snow Summit connected. Beyond the branding/marketing synergies, it also helps better distribute skiers across all of their terrain.

Can you still buy a real copy of Doppelmayr/Poma’s yearbook? I would love to get one.

Does anyone have any links to info on the Big Bear interconnect? I can’t find any sort of master plan, and the Forest Service page doesn’t have any documents on it.
