Blue Mountain Resort To Unveil New Main Street Express Lift
BLUE MOUNTAIN RESORT UNVEILS NEW MAIN STREET EXPRESS SKI LIFT ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 14; Ribbon Cutting at 9:45 a.m.
On Saturday, January 14, at 9:45 a.m., Blue Mountain Resort will unveil its new lift, the Main Street Express, which replaces two double lifts, dramatically improving fast access to the terrain on the western part of the mountain – faster connectivity between Valley Lodge and Summit Lodge. Main Street Express will transport riders from bottom to top in under five minutes and can accommodate 3,000 passengers per hour – giving enthusiasts more quality time to enjoy the snowy challenges.
The ribbon cutting will be held at 9:45 a.m. with brief remarks from Jim Dailey, the resort’s general manager. There will also be a DJ onsite, and giveaways throughout the day will add fun to the event.
For guests who want the chance to be the first to ride Main Street Express, Blue Mountain will be collecting $10 donations for the USO (United Services Organization). Six winning names will be randomly selected from the donors to allow them to ride the first lift chair of the unveiling with a free lift ticket.
Blue Mountain has the highest vertical at 1,082 feet in Pennsylvania with 40 trails, the largest snowmaking systems on the East Coast, the fastest and largest snow tubing park in the U.S. with 46 lanes and all-lit, after dark Sonic Tubing.
Saturday, January 14 at 9:45 a.m. Ribbon cutting to unveil the new Main Street Express.
Blue Mountain Resort is open seven days a week: Monday thru Friday, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
