GREEN CHAIRLIFT UPDATE

OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW

Everything is on track to have a new, faster ride to the top of the hill at Kinosoo Ridge for the 2022/23 snow season.

After shuttling skiers and snowboarders for over 40 years, the old Green Chair was removed at the end of the 2021/22 season. Since then, it’s been full-steam ahead for the replacement lift, which will retain the traditional green paint scheme on key components.

During the summer, the old towers were removed and new pilings installed. As of the writing of this article (end of August), the towers have been assembled and are standing in place, the trenching for communication lines has begun, and the screw pilings for the new lift stations have been drilled. The lift stations are on site and on stand-by for installation.

Staff also spent some time in August at the Dopplemyar facility (the lift manufacturer) for training for the new lift.

Keep an eye on the Kinosoo socials for updates on the Green Chair and additional snow season information!
