Great news for all you Mt. Bachelor shredders, the new $6.5 million Cloudchaser chairlift is set to open tomorrow. The high-speed quad is capable of transporting 2,400 people per hour and will add 635 acres of new lift-accessed terrain and 13 new runs at Bachelor, marking the resorts most significant expansion since 1996. Got to love they load tested with kegs:
“Today was the Cloudchaser Load Test! Nice weather, a few strong arms, and A LOT of sand bags to make it happen. Everything went according to plan, so we are right on track for our Friday opening!”
