North Carolina’s Cataloochee Ski Area will construct a base-to-summit chairlift this summer, replacing the Omigosh double. Doppelmayr USA will manufacture the lift, which will feature a 740 foot vertical rise and Alpenstar drive terminal. As with the current lift, the new Omigosh will include an intermediate station for internediate level skiers to unload part way up the mountain.
Omigosh is the oldest lift at Cataloochee, constructed by Hall in 1968. Though it has been upgraded over the years, it moves limited skiers to the summit. The new quad will boost capacity and improve the guest experience. Construction is set to begin in May and conclude in advance of the 2025-26 season.

We would be pleased to know that the owners of the cataloochee ski area would invest in the ski lodge or cafeteria area. It needs to be expanded with a nicer area for viewing the skiers. It is often over crowded and no ambience as in a nice round fireplace and nicer tables and chairs for those who are not skiing but waiting fir their family members.
