Back in May, Bottineau Winter Park in North Dakota announced that they were starting the final push of a fundraiser to replace its old t-bar with a new one. Yesterday, they announced that this campaign has been successful, as they raised $650,000. The new t-bar will be installed in time for the 2023-24 season.

The new t-bar, which will go up the Fox trail, will reduce lift lines, can operate during high-wind days, increases the lift speed compared to the old one, and accesses more terrain. A new surface lift has a lifespan of fifty years, so it will likely last generations. Congrats to Bottineau Winter Park for your successful fundraiser!
