Charlotte Pass Snow Resort, Australia, Officially Opens New Guthries Double Chairlift

Australia’s Charlotte Pass Snow Resort has officially opened its new Guthries double chairlift, marking a significant investment in the resort’s terrain and guest experience. The new lift replaces ageing infrastructure and will improve access to the Guthries terrain and offer skiers and snowboarders a smoother, more reliable uphill journey. Importantly, the new chairlift also allows the resort to open the Guthries terrain earlier in the season, even when snow cover is limited, extending the window in which guests can access this part of the mountain.

The official opening was marked with an event attended by the Hon Kristy McBain MP and the Hon Steve Whan MP, alongside Winter Olympian Valentino Guseli, who joined resort management and staff to celebrate the milestone.

“The Guthries double chairlift is one of the most significant infrastructure investments we’ve made at Charlotte Pass in recent years. It’s not just about improving the guest experience on the mountain — it means we can open this terrain earlier in the season, even before we’ve had a full natural snowbase, giving our guests more terrain for more of the season. This resort has a long history, and investments like this are about making sureCharlotte Pass continues to thrive for generations of skiers and snowboarders to come.” said General Manager of Charlotte Pass, Lucy Blyton-Gray.

The Guthries double chairlift forms part of Charlotte Pass’s ongoing commitment to upgrading resort infrastructure, supporting both the visitor experience and the long-term sustainability of alpine tourism in the Snowy Mountains region.

Charlotte Pass Snow Resort is Australia’s highest resort and one of the country’s most iconic alpine destinations.
