This is what Squaw Valley skiers have been waiting for. Â We wanted a high speed Red Dog chair to mitigate the increasing crowds that form on storm days when the upper mountain is closed. Â This will help dissipate those crowds considerably.
Now the question will be… Â KT or Red Dog on storm day mornings… Â Red Dog is gonna get a lot more love this coming season.
NEW RED DOG LIFT:
– 2,400 skiers per hour
– 18 towers
– Lower base terminalÂ
– From 6,230 feet to 7,520 feet with approximately the same top and base areas
– 50 trees will be chopped down or trimmed and 12 dead ones will be cut down
OLD RED DOG LIFT:
– Fixed grip triple chair
– 3,700 feet long with 16 towers
– 1,800 skiers per hour

This is good. Red Dog is gonna get ripped in half in about 1 hour (2,400 skiers) but I’d rather ski torn up snow than wait in line.
