The project

Vail is the largest and perhaps most famous ski resort in the United States, welcoming nearly 4.7 million skiers each year

The 6-seater chairlift replaces a very popular 4-seater installation. On arrival, skiers can access nearly half of the ski area and can travel to other areas, including the well-constructed Keystone area, where a new chairlift was also made by LPOA that same year.
