Whistler ski-lift capacity to get big boost
The B.C. ski mecca of Whistler Blackcomb has announced it's expanding its ski lift capacity by about one third for next season.
Whistler Blackcomb has unveiled plans for a major ski-lift expansion.
Whistler Mountain's Harmony high-speed, quad chairlift will be replaced with a new high-speed, detachable, six-pack chairlift capable of transporting six people on each chair.
Also, Blackcomb Mountain will see a lift enhancement with a high-speed quad chairlift going into a new area in the Crystal Zone, currently accessed by a fixed-grip triple chair.
A Whistler Blackcomb spokesman says the two lifts will be replaced by the beginning of the 2013-14 ski season.
