- Deer Valley Ski Resort plans to upgrade its terrain and cable car transportation in Utah. The resort is working on multiple projects including adding 3,700 skiable acres which will be accessible by 16 new chairlifts and a gondola. The project goes by the name of “Expanded Excellence” and could be accessible as early as the 2025-2026 ski season. Other projects underway include a new base area.
- Brundage Mountain Resort constructs high speed quad. The new Doppelmayr high speed detachable quad is replacing Centennial Triple at the Brundage Mountain Resort in Idaho and should be up and running by the next ski season. Blackhawk helicopters brought tower pieces for the 16 towers up the mountain where crews then secured the pieces. The new lift will have 92 chairs with a capacity of 1,800 passengers per hour.
- Wanglongmen Cable Car, China’s first passenger cable car, is making a comeback. The original system was built in 1945 and was operational until 1993. The site was designated as a municipal heritage site in 2009. Recently, the restoration of the system was approved. The aim is to preserve the original architecture while still integrating modern, contemporary elements. The original system had two 50 passenger cabins and ferried close to 90,000 passengers in 8 months after its original opening date.
