Central Ontario gem Sir Sam’s plans to build its first new chairlift in 34 years next summer, part of a strategic modernization plan. Doppelmayr Canada will construct the fixed-grip quad chair on the front side of the mountain. It will replace the former Eagle View double, which retired this fall after 42 seasons. “The sleigh bells are ringing, and we’re delivering more than just cheer,” the mountain announced on social media. “Our shareholders want to give you, our patrons, supporters, and followers a special holiday gift.” The yet-to-be-named lift will open in time for the 2026-27 ski season.
Next year is already shaping up to be a strong construction season in Canada with projects in the works across British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec.
