Whereas the aforementioned traverses can get repetitive over time, they’re graded sufficient to permit skiers and riders to maintain their velocity, and the singular base space signifies that company may have a tough time ending up within the unsuitable place on the finish of the day.
Lifts
Traditionally, Fortress Mountain’s carry community has been considerably outdated, characterised by gradual, fixed-grip double and triple chairs with restricted capability to move skiers uphill.
The primary mountain, Gravenstafel, is accessed by two key lifts: the Sundance Chair (regionally referred to as the Blue Chair), a triple, and the Tamarack Chair (regionally referred to as the Crimson Chair), a double. Adjoining to the Sundance Chair is the T-rex T-bar, which generally operates on busy days to help with mid-mountain entry, whereas a magic carpet close to the bottom caters to learners on the bunny hill. The newbie space can be served by the fairly-short, aptly-named Inexperienced Chair.
Over on Mount Haig, the fixed-grip triple chair referred to as Huckleberry serves each the primary terrain park and a broad vary of newbie and intermediate slopes.
Wanting ahead, Fortress Mountain is poised for vital upgrades. Throughout the subsequent few seasons, the resort is anticipated to introduce its first high-speed carry on Mount Haig. This carry will improve entry to what was previously a cat snowboarding space, now earmarked for intermediate-to-expert terrain. Concurrently, the cat snowboarding operations shall be relocated to a different close by mountain. As of October 2024, the opening date of the brand new high-speed quad and the precise new location for cat snowboarding stay undisclosed.
