Snowbowl officials say the new lift will shorten ride times to serve guests better. 
The bottom terminal will be moved 190 degrees north of its current location, to improve the overall skiing experience. The new chairlift will service new lower intermediate and beginner ski terrain all within Snowbowl’s current Special Use Permit. It is part of several projects that were approved by the Forest Service in 2005.
Snowbowl officials say the new lift will shorten ride times to serve guests better. The fixed grip, quad chair with a bottom drive is manufactured by SkyTrac, located in Tooele, Utah.
In addition, new trails will be constructed by clearing vegetation and grading to provide access to the lower terminal of the new Aspen chairlift. The old Aspen chairlift will be removed and snowmaking infrastructure and utilities will be installed.
“After many years, Arizona Snowbowl is overjoyed to install a brand new quad chairlift to enhance the beginner and lower-intermediate experience for our guests,” said Marketing Coordinator Angie Grubb. “We are excited to improve the skiing at Arizona Snowbowl and look forward to seeing guests enjoy the new chairlift this winter.” FBN
