Over the summer, Marmot Basin added two new lifts. While we were all enjoying our summer vacation, the on-hill operations team was feverishly installing new towers and chairs for the upcoming season. First, the team replaced the Upper Paradise triple with a much longer and faster high-speed quad. The new chair is approximately 70 percent longer, with the loading area near the intersection of "Old Road" and "Roll Out." The nice thing is you no longer have to ski like mad across the flats when trying to access the old chair from the mid-mountain Paradise Chalet. This left the hill with an extra triple chair, which was refurbished and reinstalled, replacing the dreaded T-bar in the lower "School House" beginner area. Fear not beginners, this chair will be much slower than normal and, with the added easy loading and unloading areas, you and your buddies should have a safe ride up. At the end of your ski day, the new chair also offers a much more comfortable return trip to the tiered parking lots than clomping up in heavy ski boots. V
