The Aspen Times is reporting that SkiCo will be closing four redundant lifts across three mountains during weekdays. SkiCo is citing low ridership on the reason for the closing of the lifts.
“We are experiencing soft business volumes mid-week and are seeing softness across the industry. We have made some strategic decisions to address this,” wrote Jeff Hanle, SkiCo vice president of communications, in an email. “All available terrain remains open; however, we have redundant lifts on our mountains that can be turned off without impacting access to open terrain.”
The Gentleman’s Ridge lifts on Aspen Mountain and the Coney Glade lift at Snowmass ski area will be closed Monday through Thursday. The Thunderbowl lift at Aspen Highlands will be closed Mondays only.
