Alta Ski Area proposes to remove the Albion Chairlift. The Albion lift is a fixed grip, center pole chairlift that was installed in 1976. It is rarely operated and maintained only to provide capacity if the Sunnyside lift breaks down.
Location
The Albion lift is on the norther portion of Alta Ski Area within resort's special use permit boundary. Located up Little Cottonwood Canyon.
