Pbropetech is right, the mountain owns it. However it is still confusing to me why Dodge doesn’t run. Pacific Crest gets so crowded it makes perfect sense to run Dodge as an overflow lift. I remember riding it a few times back in the late-2000s and it did break down fairly often. My theory is that the lift has mechanical issues, and the Summit can’t decide whether to repair it or just wait and spend their money on a replacement. At this point, they should have repaired it. It’s become yet another ghost lift up here.
It runs perfectly, but has a variable drive, so isn’t the easiest to run. It runs weekends and some holidays.
only has 2 years left till PC and Dodge get replaced by a detach 6 seater.
I rode Dodge Ridge today. Brought back a lot of memories. It runs beautifully, quiet as ever. It only has a year or 2 left. Plans are to replace it and Pac Crest with a detachable 6.
What has always confused me is that in the 9th photo, you can see next to the lift’s name a blue square and a green circle. But Dodge Ridge doesn’t serve any green runs!

The Last Time I remember dodge ridge running was in 2018 i think. The ski school below it has ownership of it and rarely ever operates it

The ski school owns it? That doesn’t sound correct. They may be the only reason it runs, but I’m pretty sure Boyne/Snoqualmie actually owns it.

First lift I ever rode (1969). I can’t believe it’s still up.
