 Highest
Chair Lift in the World Opens For Season
A winter storm that moved through Colorado this weekend,
brought a foot of new snow to Loveland SkiArea bringing the ski
area’s one week snowfall total to over two feet (60cm). The new
snow means additional lift and trail openings including the legendary
Chair #9 this week.
This famed chair lift,
the highest in the world, provides skiers and riders access to an
additional 400 acres of terrain, known as The Ridge. Chair #9 awards
Loveland Ski Area bragging rights to the highest chair lift served
terrain in the world. Reaching a maximum elevation of 12,700 feet,
Chair #9 offers stunning 360-degree panoramic views and an expanse
of open bowl skiing and steep chutes directly off the eastern side
of the Continental Divide.
 The
opening of the Ridge will give skiers and riders another 150 acres
of terrain to choose from, including the expert terrain of Patrol
Bowl and the intermediate cruiser, Rookie Road. Another winter storm
expected to reach the mountains late Tuesday should enable Loveland
to open additional terrain on The Ridge as weather and conditions
allow. More information at www.skiloveland.com
