New Lift and Other Mountain Investments
Our fixed-grip triple Lowell Thomas chairlift serving the upper North Side will be entirely replaced with a Dopplelmayr detachable quad. Boosting capacity by 600 skiers per hour, this new lift will be in operation by next season. We will continue increasing its snowmaking capacity with the acquisition of 31 high-efficiency snow guns and the addition of a new grooming machine. Also, 5 new glades covering a 50- acre area will extend Tremblant's skiable terrain to 101 trails across 715 acres. The sectors involved are located on the North Side and the Edge which are respectively served by the Duncan, Expo and Edge lifts.
