IMPROVEMENTS

Key Alpental Projects

-
LIFT UPGRADE - ALPENTAL
COMPLETED SUMMER 2023
Sessel Triple Chairlift
Opened for the 2023-24 season. The new, higher capacity, Doppelmayr fixed-grip triple chairlift was realigned and extended to create longer, more interesting intermediate descents and provide quick access to the future International Chair. The new chairlift replaces one of our oldest lifts, providing modern reliability, an easy-loading conveyor, improved safety, and quieter operation.
NEW LIFT - ALPENTAL
PLANNED OPENING WINTER 2024-25
New International Triple Chairlift
The long-awaited International Chair at Alpental will be a fixed-grip triple dropping skiers and riders in the best spot for accessing Lower International, Snake Dance, Felson & Back Bowls. Providing a whole new way to access some of the most popular terrain at Alpental. Phase one of construction was completed summer 2023. Phase two will be during the summer of 2024 with a target opening for the 2024-25 season.
LIFT UPGRADE - ALPENTAL
Edelweiss Chairlift Upgrade
The iconic (and oldest lift at The Summit) accessing the most legendary terrain will be upgraded to a Doppelmayr fixed-grip triple chair to help reduce lines in conjunction with the International chair, secure reliability, and provide powder hounds with more laps in some of the deepest snow in North America.
EASIER & FASTER CONTROL WORK - ALPENTAL
New Avalanche Control Systems
New remote-operated control systems installed in key locations to help keep our teams and guests safe, as well as protect resort infrastructure while enabling earlier openings of the terrain you love!
