According to Northstar's website the Pioneer Chair is scheduled to be realigned and upgraded this summer. Does anyone know what they are replacing it with? Express Quad I would think.

"This summer, the resort is planning to replace and reroute the Pioneer Chairlift and widen runs on the west side of the mountain, which will open a slew of intermediate runs for skiers and riders to enjoy. This lift is slated to be complete by the 2005/06 winter season. The resort also plans to add and/or replace five more chairlifts before the mountain-improvements plan is complete within the next three to five years."

  • Interests:yo, my name is Christian, and I live in the San Francisco Bay Area (Berkeley ....sort of) skiing is what I do best, and I love the mountains. Of course I love skilifts too, which is why I'm here. I'd like to learn more about them and maybe work in the Ski industry later on in life.<br /><br />Let it snow.

I wonder if they are going to extend it to to the top of the salmon run handle tow so its easier to get to lookout mountain.

No, it is going up to the shaffer's camp restaurant, further from the tow.

Pioneer will be replaced with a 6-pack. They will have the ability to also run 8 passenger cabins so that non-skiers can access the new restaurant.

The old Sultan will be installed so that a real estate development can more easily access Northstar's terrain.
