This project is to improve the reliability and safety of Aspen Mountain's Lift 1A in order to meet guest standards and enhance the recreation experience by replacing and realigning the outdated fixed-grip, double chairlift installed in 1972.
Location
The bottom terminal would be adjacent to the existing terminal and the top terminal would be approx. 200 ft SW of the existing terminal adjacent to the Ruthie's Restaurant (see map for alignment).
