They also plan to remove Double Jaw, remove Summit, replace Gandy with a quad in a new alignment and improve capacity or replace Big Air with a new quad
this doc may answer your question. Seems like summer 2025 but I also didn’t read very carefully. also the proposed alignment means there will no longer be a backup to spirit express for busy days and possible maintenance issues.
Would love to see what a Borvig / Leitnee HSQ looks like

Also quite cool because it appears to be the only chairlift I have seen which has CTECs old style quad chairs with bubbles

Nothing announced thus far, so I’m guessing they are staying with them for the foreseeable future, as long as they can get parts and keep it safe.
