Experience the Future of Skiing: Unveiling Our New High-Tech Chairlifts at SkiBig3 Resorts
Winter is fast approaching in the Canadian Rockies, and the SkiBig3 resorts - Banff Sunshine, Lake Louise Ski Resort, and Mt. Norquay are getting ready for a seriously epic winter. For those looking to combine adventure with an added touch of comfort, two big changes are happening at Banff Sunshine and Lake Louise Ski Resort that are bound to have you stoked to hit the slopes this winter in Banff National Park.
Banff Sunshine: New Super Angel Luxury Chairlift
For the 2024/25 winter season, Banff Sunshine is set to unveil the Super Angel Chairlift, an exciting upgrade to its lift lineup. The Super Angel is a 6-person, high-speed chairlift that will feature plush heated bucket seats, comfy footrests, and a chic yellow weather protection bubble cover, making your ride to the top not only cozy but comfortable too. Developed in partnership with Leitner-Poma, the Super Angel is equipped with the latest EVO premium technology, eliminating the traditional gearbox and providing the smoothest, fastest, and quietest ride on the slopes.
Super Angel Express heated bubble chairlift
Construction has been in full swing over the summer, and the new lift will be ready to welcome skiers and snowboarders for this 24/25 winter season. With the addition of the Super Angel, Banff Sunshine will now showcase two of the three available heated bubble chairlifts in Canada.
The new Super Angel Express is replacing the iconic Angel Express, built at the resort in 1988 and marks the end of an era. The Angel Express completed its final journey on May 12, 2024, and has been deconstructed for its next chapter. In line with its commitment to sustainability, Banff Sunshine has transported the old Angel Express to Castle Mountain Resort in southern Alberta, where it will continue its legacy as the resort's first high-speed chairlift.
Lake Louise Ski Resort: New Pipestone Express Chairlift
Lake Lousie Ski Resort is also joining the exciting announcements for the 2024/25 winter season, with the debut of their new Pipestone Express heated chairlift. In collaboration with Doppelmayr, the new heated chairlift will comfortably transport six passengers with a speedy ride time of seven minutes. It will also feature footrests and a sleek blue bubble, keeping you warm and cozy as you ascend to the base of the Summit Chair on the front side of the resort.
The opening of the new lift completes the second phase of the Juniper Chairlift extension and marks the third heated bubble chairlift in Canada. The resort will now feature both the Lower Juniper Express and the Pipestone Express, enhancing the guest experience and allowing skiers and riders easier and quicker access to the base of the Summit Chairlift and West Bowl than ever before.
