Not less than 4 new lifts will probably be constructed in New Hampshire this summer time following the state tramway board’s approval for Bretton Woods to start building on a brand new excessive pace quad. The brand new elevate will change the Bethlehem Categorical, the oldest of 5 detachables on the mountain. Doppelmayr constructed the present elevate in 1989 however the brand new one will probably be constructed by Leitner-Poma. It will likely be the primary Poma elevate constructed at Bretton Woods since 1973, when three Heron-Poma lifts debuted for the resort’s inaugural season. Along with retiring Bethlehem Categorical, Bretton Woods can also be retiring the close by Fayban’s Categorical triple and auctioning the chairs.
Bretton Woods is a part of the Omni Mountain Washington Resort, itself a subsidiary of Omni Motels & Resorts. The corporate has invested closely in its New Hampshire ski space over the previous decade together with constructing an eight passenger gondola and expansive summit lodge. Bretton Woods and Leitner-Poma plan to begin building on Bethlehem in April and the brand new elevate needs to be considerably accomplished in October.
