Weather and permitting issues have caused some delays for lift projects in New England.
Gondola at Bretton Woods, NH:
A whole bunch of snow has caused the completion date of the gondola back to a yet to be determined date.
At Stratton, VT, the Snow Bowl HSQ opening date has been pushed to the end of this month due to environmental restrictions related to Bicknell's Thrush.
At Killington, VT, the Snowdon SP is supposed to finally open this week (Originally slated for Thanksgiving.) The other two lifts under construction at Killington still do not have a proposed completion date.
The refurb T-Bar going in at Ascutney, VT will not open this winter due to the late start of the project and the how early snow fell.
Magic Mountain's (VT) Green Chair will be opening Christmas week, about 10 years after construction on the lift started! About time.
