"We are thrilled to bring this project to Seven Springs, pending final approvals. Replacing the Blitzen Lift with a new four-person chair will significantly improve reliability and increase uphill capacity by 33%, giving our guests more time on the slopes and less time in line. This investment reflects our commitment to enhancing the guest experience and ensuring Seven Springs remains a premier destination for skiers and riders across the region. We cannot wait to see this project come to life ahead of the 2026-27 season,"
"The upgrade will increase uphill capacity by 33%, improve reliability, and enhance guest flow by relocating the top terminal 400 feet downhill to reduce congestion. Blitzen was prioritized because it is one of Seven Springs' oldest lifts, installed in 1987, and sourcing parts has become increasingly difficult. This investment is geared towards improving the guest experience and ensuring visitors spend more time on the slopes and less time in line."
Seven Springs plans to replace the three-person fixed-grip Blitzen Lift with a new four-person fixed-grip lift for the 2026-27 season, pending final approvals. The new lift will increase uphill capacity by 33% and improve reliability. The top terminal will be relocated 400 feet downhill to reduce congestion and improve guest flow, with an unload location similar to Polar Bear for access to Front and North Face terrain. Blitzen, installed in 1987, is near the end of its life and parts have become difficult to source. Vail Resorts is investing to speed loading, reduce lines, and enhance the guest experience.
