Lifts Still Under Construction
Catamount recently provided an update on its two new lifts, the Catamount Quad and Glades Triple. According to a Facebook post, "we’re just days away from enjoying these lifts." The Catamount Quad, a refurbished Garaventa-CTEC, will serve lower mountain terrain, while the Glades Triple, a refurbished Poma, will serve the main mountain.
Saddleback appears to be putting the finishing touches on its Sandy Quad. The new Partek will serve lower mountain terrain.
The multi-year Black Line Quad installation at Magic has come to a standstill, as the mountain will need to install a new haul rope in order to pass inspection. According to a recent update from the ski area, its lift contractor is no longer responding to inquiries, so there is no timetable for completion.
