Canada: First bubble six chairlift

Leitner-Poma will install its first ever bubble chairlift in Canada at Banff Sunshine. This is reported by the portal liftblog.com. The six place chairlift with heated seats will replace the aging Angel Express.

The move follows construction of Sunshine’s first bubble lift, the Tee Pee Town LX quad in 2015. When the project is complete within the next two years, all lifts at Sunshine will be under 30 years old.

“This summer our team has been working on widening the Angel lift line in preparation to replace the lift with a highspeed luxury 6 passenger bubble chair (with heated seats). We are young in the project stage, as of now we have the project scope confirmed and we are hopeful that construction will progress smoothly to allow for a 24/25 winter opening date” – Sunshine Village on Instagram.

As of this post, no completion date is confirmed.
