Project Summary:
As the Mad River Glen Cooperative Board and Management seek to meet its strategic goals of expanding skiing opportunities, and preserving and protecting the skiing experience we have concluded that renovating the Sunnyside Double Chairlift, including adding an unload mid-station, is needed. The project will include adding an unload only mid-station in the flats above the birdcage near the site of the old mid-station, replacing the haul rope, and replacing and upgrading the low voltage control systems. These elements, when combined with the drive system work completed in December 2024 will ensure that the Sunnyside Double Chairlift serves the cooperative for many more years.
Project Benefits:
New mid-station: The cooperative has been successful in bringing snowmaking back to the 2,300’ elevation level on the trails accessed by the Sunnyside Chair. The new mid-station will enable us to access the man-made snow when the top of the lift is not skiable due to low natural snow. The trails highlighted in yellow all have snowmaking and can reasonably expected to be open by the December holiday period. The mid-station will provide easier access to the Birdland Lift and easier access to beginner terrain. The mid-station also opens up future possibilities in the Birdland area.
