Mammoth Releases New Photos of Broadway Express Construction Progress

The replacement of Broadway Express (Chair 1) at Mammoth Mountain is underway with completion anticipated for the 2024/2025 Season.

A recent update from Mammoth Mountain ensures that the install is going smoothly so far, and the all-new Doppelmayer D-Line 6-pack detachable chairlift "will be spinning this 24/25 winter season." Photo gallery below.

This new lift is promised to provide 25% more uphill capacity, reduce wait times on powder days, open faster during storms, and allow for more comfortable lift-riding.

In other words, skiers are excited for this project to be ready to ride.

Last month , Mammoth's construction teams had just finished pouring all 12 tower foundations and completed the foundation for the lower terminal building.

This week, officials at Mammoth Mountain told POWDER, "the new Doppelmayr D-Line 6-seat detachable chairlift will feature in-terminal parking at the top and bottom to improve opening times on big storm days, 90-degree loading on an automated loading conveyor to ensure an efficient load process, and an uphill capacity of 3000 passengers per hour, a 25% improvement over its predecessor."

"Other upgrades are being made to further modernize the mountain's chairlifts to reduce stoppages and wait times for guests. Face Lift Express (Chair 3) and Unbound Express (Chair 6) will receive upgraded controls as well as new AC drives, improving the efficiency and reliability of the chairlifts."

Winter can't come soon enough. We can't wait, and skiers who frequent Mammoth definitely can't either.
