Sublette Project
The JHMR Mountain Operations teams and contractors from Leitner-Poma have worked incredibly hard to complete the new Sublette project this summer, which has involved removing the original Sublette lift and installing a brand-new, high-speed quad. Months of work and the installation of the bottom and top terminals have the project moving right along schedule, with an anticipated opening this December.
The new Sublette chair will be much quicker than the original, taking just four minutes to ascend the lift’s nearly 1600’ vertical. There will be 72 European-style comfort chairs, and the lift will be suspended along 15 towers. Skiers will load straight onto the lift and the chairs will spin in a clockwise direction which is a new feature. Additionally, the top terminal's location and size necessitated creating a slightly new traverse into Tensleep Bowl (pictures below).
The lift towers will be installed by helicopter, courtesy of Alpine Cable, this Wednesday. We’ll be sharing more photos as the project progresses and winter approaches. Stay tuned to this blog for updates, and check out the gallery below for new photos.
