Bear Valley Features New High-Speed
Six-Pack Chairlift for 2017-18 Season
|
First Six-pack in the Central Sierra
|
Bear Valley, CA – November 2017 / Newsmaker Alert / Skyline Bear Valley Resorts announces that the 2017-18 season will be highlighted by a new high-speed six-pack chairlift that will transport six passengers at a time from the mid-mountain ski lodge to the top of the mountain nearly three times faster than the previous lift. The new lift (yet to be named), replaces the Bear chairlift, increasing guest uphill capacity of the mountain’s main artery.

The detachable chairlift in Bear Valley will be the first six-pack installed in California’s Central Sierra. The speed-reducing detachable lift technology provides guests with a relaxed loading and unloading experience, while reducing wait times in lift lines or on the lift. The new lift will carry guests to the mountain’s peak in just over three minutes.
