NEW SHEER BLISS LIFT AT SNOWMASS
$7 Million Dollar Lift and $9 Million Restaurant at Snowmass
Aspen Skiing Company is building a new Sheer Bliss lift at Snowmass for next winter. The new lift will be a high speed quad, providing easy access to Big Burn and Sheer Bliss areas. The lift is 155 feet higher than the old chair, can carry 2,000 people an hour and will reach the top in just nine minutes. A much cushier ride than the old double attached that took 16 minutes to reach the top and was built in 1975. The new lift's lower terminal lift will be downhill and on the opposite side of Cabin trail situated to reduce congestion. The new upper terminal will be on the west side and above the Cirque Lift bottom terminal providing convenient repeat use of the Cirque Terrain as well as direct access to Sneaky's trail.
Aspen Skiing Company will also open a new restaurant in the base village at Snowmass. The restaurant will be in Capital Peak "A" Lodge (Building 2A) directly on the plaza at the base of Fanny Hill. Specifics are still being finalized, but the restaurant will feature a lively apres scene, outdoor seating and a family-friendly menu. As of next winter season ASC will no longer operate The Cirque Bar and Grill location.
