A new high-speed 10-person gondola, replacing the existing 6-person gondola, will significantly improve wait times and increase out-of-base uphill capacity by 35% in the Creekside area, especially on high-volume days.

Bergman Bowl

Enhancements to Bergman Bowl will add 16 new trails, a ski patrol facility, and snowmaking infrastructure, and include a new high-speed 6-person chairlift, expanding access to 555 acres of incredible terrain. This project unlocks access for novice and intermediate guests and provides expanded entry to expert terrain in Independence and Erickson Bowls.

The installation of a new high-speed 4-person chair in the Sun Down Bowl from the base of Chair 5 (High Noon Express) to the Wildwood restaurant will materially reduce wait times on peak days at Chair 5 and create the opportunity for skiers and riders to much more conveniently access the trails in Sun Down Bowl.

Rip's Ride Lift

The beginner/ski school experience will be enhanced at the highly utilized Peak 8 base area by replacing the current fixed-grip double with a high-speed 4-person chair, increasing uphill capacity by nearly 70% and making it easier for guests to move out of the base area.

A new high-speed 6-person chair will replace the existing mid-mountain 4-person chair and is designed to reduce wait times at one of the mountain’s most popular lifts. This upgrade will increase uphill capacity by nearly 50%.

The replacement and extension of the existing fixed-grip triple to a high-speed 6-person lift will increase uphill capacity by 100%, eliminate the steep hike to the base of the lift, improve reliability on windy days, and offer beginner and intermediate guests with better access to lower-level terrain choices.

A new high-speed 4-person chair to replace the existing fixed-grip quad will decrease the current 14-minute ride time by approximately 30% and result in better utilization of the Sunbrook terrain.

The replacement and consolidation of multiple lifts at both resorts will improve reliability and enhance the overall guest experience. Jack Frost will receive three new fixed-grip 4-person chairs (one to replace the B & C lifts, another to replace the E & F lifts, and the third to replace the East 1&2 doubles) and Big Boulder will receive two fixed-grip 4-person chairs to replace the Merry Widow 1 & 1 doubles and the Edelweiss Triple. 

Peachtree Lift

A new fixed-grip triple replaced the mountain’s oldest and last remaining 2-person chairlift. The upgrade, made during the 2021-22 season, better services beginner terrain at the base of the resort, increasing uphill capacity by 50%.

A couple of big projects launched at Okemo ahead of the 2021-22 season to help skiers and riders get up and around the mountain faster. The Quantum lift was upgraded from a quad to a high-speed 6-person lift – now named Quantum Six. The existing high-speed 4-person Quantum lift, renamed Evergreen Summit Express, replaced the Green Ridge 3-person chairlift.
