I didn’t know there was a such thing as a d-line 8 person gondola. Glad to see that Big Sky is getting the first one😊.

BS or its capital partner is planning a hotel of some sort over by Moonlight called the “One and Only”. This gondola is probably an access lift. So I don’t think it will supplement the meager lift system at Moonlight or alleviate the 100% dependence on the Six Shooter lift at that resort.

Seems kinda confusing to call it the “one and only gondola” when they are installing two other gondolas that year. It seems like they could have come up with a better name that would be less confusing.

One&Only is a luxury resort brand that is building the development that will have a gondola connecting it to Moonlight Basin

It’s not intended to supplement Six Shooter; in fact, I’m not sure if it’s being funded by Big Sky/Boyne at all, or if One&Only, the resort company, is paying for it itself, but it definitely is only an access lift
LikeLike
I don’t think BS is paying for it, as there’s nothing about it on its website (unlike its other lift projects).

Heard there is a third project in play replacing Lift 4 with a high speed quad. Nothing official in the Forest Service system yet though.

Last I heard it is Telluride’s old chair 9. I think Purgatory has a few more hoops to jump through but it should be happening in the next couple of years.
LikeLike
I assume you mean they’re using the old 9 for Ice Creek, right? I can’t imagine they would replace twilight with a used fixed-grip, and Gelande is probably going to be the last of the three projects

Currently being sourced and priced from the two major Lift Manufacturers: A replacement for Arrowhead: a 1988 Dopplemayr Quad chairlift, length 2440 feet, vertical 530 feet at the Alpine Ski Club in Collingwood Ontario. (data from Skilifts.org. Replacement timeframe from Alpine’s 2022 member yearend magazine.

Guessing Alpine Ski Club wants to replace Arrowhead with a modern fixed grip quad from Dopp or LPA, with Skytrac as a wildcard option. I doubt it will be a high speed quad with a mid-unload station.
LikeLike
Correct Arrowhead won’t be a high speed quad , but they do want to move the mid unload station higher up the hill and also raise (fill in a dip in the ground) and move the bottom station uphill level with the bottom terminal of 2002 Dopplemayr CTEC Six Pack not too far away.
The next high speed quad at the Alpine Ski Club in Collingwood will be in the 2028 range to replace the Millenium Quad in the North section of the Club.
LikeLike
Is there the possibility for a loading conveyor on the replacement Arrowhead lift? Also, why is the club planning on relocating the midstation?
LikeLike
Management at the Alpine Ski Club has not released any amount of detail on location on 2024 Arrowhead Quad midstation location, but typically the reason why ski resorts move terminal locations when rebuilding is to get better or different use out of the ski acreage available.

In 2024, a new high speed quad, (Shadow Mountain) should be built to replace the SLI-RIBLET Shadow Mountain Double at Aspen Mountain, CO. No info on who’s going to manufacture it.

Probably LPA considering they have built all of Aspens other high speed lifts.

I thought 1A was going to be a combination lift. Did the plan change?

Should like you want or should like that is what’s happening?

I think this will be an HSQ. Kind of sad to see that old double go. On the bright side, it’ll definitely fix that horrible swing on exit.

Brian Head announced in the Salt Lake Tribune that the first lift(s) for Aspen Meadows will be installed in 2024. Logically speaking, it will likely be Stage 1 (and maybe Stage 2) of the gondola.

Will the One & Only Gondola at Big Sky have the boxy R2 style glass enclosures like the Explorer Gondola?
It would be cool to have both gondola terminals match and then have all the bubble lifts use the standard D-Line terminal with the screen on the end

It’s not confirmed. Some of the funds come from state parks funding, which was recently cut from the budget.

Gore’s Hudson Express got moved to 2024? Hasn’t that project been ordered and confirmed for almost a year? Supply chain issues in 2022 was why the project got pushed to 2023 initially…

It has been postponed. I believe from the ORDA side, not anything on the Leitner-Poma end. Bear Cub at Gore and Legacy at Whiteface are still on for this year per the most recent ORDA board meeting.
