Why is Leitner in green?
LikeLike
Skytrac builds the structural parts and provides the controls for Leitner-branded surface lifts, and puts their name on it.

What are they doing for Supreme? Adding an angle station? Realigning? I’m confused.
LikeLike
They are rebuilding Supreme in a normal strait alignment.

Will it start or end in a different place?

It will start in a slightly different place, but end in the same place.

Rumour is Mount St Louis-Moonstone in Ontario, Canada is removing Easy Street and Outback lifts this summer 2025 to maybe replaced with a new beginner 6-CLD from Doppelmayr to build up the Moonstone side of the resort. Chairs are already down and off from Easy Street from what I can tell. If true, this is another significant upgrade for MSLM, with 5 high-speed lifts and probably the largest uphill capacity numbers in Ontario.

On a recent podcast, Loon indicated that they might not start on their pulse gondola till the fall, as it’s a transport lift from the resort to the ski area, and does not affect or go over any ski terrain.

How Alta is going to relocate to supreme on a straight alignment. If building it without the turn was even an option, why did they do it in the first place?
LikeLike
Back when they were getting ready to replace the old Supreme and Cecret lifts they did not own the land that would be needed to make a straight cut for a lift line. I don’t recall if it was BLM that wouldn’t give the permission or that the land as owned by a private entity and they wouldn’t sell. I’m sure some one else on this site would know more about that.

Where is Whitewater’s new quad going to go? I assume a new alignment since none of the current lifts are marked as removed.
LikeLike
Given the fact that there’s no name in the database and a rudimentary search turned up nothing, it’s possible there’s been no announcement, and the only way it’s on here is manufacturer data. In other words, we know it’s being made and who it’s being made for, but not exactly where on the mountain until the mountain themselves tell.

Hey Peter, just saw the new quad for Whitewater. What is your source on that. I assume you got it from L-P as there is nothing that I could find about it. If it does indeed happen, I will be very excited (except if it is a Silver King replacement 😢) Hope to see a formal announcement soon, it does seem late for that though.
LikeLiked by 1 person
I don’t think it will be a Silver King Replacement. Silver King is served by Raven, and Silver King is pretty much a backup lift. Plus, no current lifts are showed as removed, but that could change. I think it will be an expansion lift, or possibly a replacement for Glory Ridge, although unlikely.

Most likely a Backside 2 expansion lift.

That seems pretty likely. Looking at their master plan it looks like it will either be Backside 2 or White Queen.
Here’s the master plan.

Apparently, White Queen is not going to happen. The lift was installed as Raven in 2023, so the most likely scenario is BS2.

Aspen/Snowmass just posted that they won’t break ground on the new Elk Camp until August 4th and that they will operate the bike park off of the lift until August 4th. That seems like quite the aggresive timeline to build a new lift.
LikeLike
The lifts will have different lines they could build Elk camp 6 and then remove Elk camp 4 in the fall.
LikeLike
Lines are essentially the same. Bottom terminal will be slightly East, top terminal will be the same location. I’m not part of the planning group, but my understanding is that they will prep foundations for lower towers and possibly bottom/return terminal prior to August, but cannot work on the upper half until demo is complete. I’m mentally preparing myself for a wet and cold splice and load test late in the year.

November/December load tests are the best!

Aggressive indeed, though I expect Poma will get as much work done as they can safely prior to August. Tree felling has already begun for the needed clearance with the slight alignment change.

Any progress on Elk Camp 6? I’m going to Snowmass around early December and I want to ride it.
LikeLike
Commissioning and load test are scheduled for this week (Nov 10-14) 😁 We are always excited to get the Elk Camp pod open as soon as possible, but early December is a stretch most years as it requires a decent amount of natural snow. I hope you’re doing the snow dance every day to appease Ullr!

Where is Powder Mountain relocating the old Paradise to?
LikeLike
Wow, three lifts for Powder this summer after 4 last year! Maybe the relocated Paradise is another lift in Wolf Canyon, or a homeowner lift? Exciting.

Would have made a great replacement for Apollo at Nordic Valley. But if Powder wants to reuse it on mountain that’s cool.

Maybe the old Paradise lift will be relocated to the Cobabe lift line that was cut last summer and terminates at the top near the Mary’s lift?

Also, the Davenport Lift is officially called “Primetime” and a 4th lift that might go in this summer is named “Halfpint” which is a short homeowner lift for the new Shelter Hill development area.

Perhaps?

Anyone taking bets on whether the planned lifts to the top of Cobabe Canyon will be publicly accessible or for homeowners only? My guess is that the one starting down near the bottom of Hidden Lake will be public but the one entirely within Cobabe private. This would preserve the benefit for homeowners by being lapable on one lift ride while the public would need to take at least two lifts to lap that terrain. That said, also wouldn’t be surprised if they are both for homeowners only either as public access continues to expand towards the West, with Cobabe still accessible the traditional way via the platter only.

What happened to the Cobabe Lift? I know the lift line is cut and heard that foundations for towers and terminals were going to be poured this summer. Now it’s not listed as a New Lift?
LikeLike
My understanding of the original plan was DMI, Halfpint and Davenport Express plus Cobabe Express concrete this summer. But PowMow ran into permitting delays and now the only lift planned for this summer is Davenport Express. Everything else has been postponed.
I also heard that Sunrise is slated to be removed when Cobabe Express happens and that lift will be private. Cobabe, Village, Mary’s, Raintree, Davenport would all be private. We’ll see.

Then where will Primetime be located? Will it be public or private?
LikeLike
Primetime is Davenport. Private.
LikeLike
The plan is to have all the lifts providing access to Cobabe be private? I can’t imagine that will go over well… It’s one thing to have the newer terrain and former cat ski areas be private. It’s another to start encroaching on the public ski area.

Peter, can you move Galena & Pioche Express lifts from New Lifts 2024 to New Lifts 2025, list so all the new lifts are on the same page? I know they were built last year. But both of the lifts are going to open in the 2025 season.
Thanks so much

Thank you for the suggestion but no. Lift Blog tracks when lifts are substantially constructed, not when they open. Doppelmayr considers both to be 2024 projects.

I guess for me it depends on whether that planned Mushroom Valley lift is public. That would maintain access to Cobabe via an 2 lift sequence even if the public couldn’t lap it like homeowners. If Cobabe is entirely off limits to the public, that’s some BS.
LikeLike
To be honest, the real BS was removing two public lifts and adding private terrain in the first place.

Eh. Those were the newest lifts on relatively lame terrain at the far edge of the resort, so I don’t think that’s a big loss. Would happily trade those for Lightning Ridge and DMI.
