Whistler Blackcomb: Update on lift upgrade projects

While we still have plenty of winter left ahead of us, we also want to share a quick update on our lift upgrade projects scheduled for this summer.

Pending final permitting, our plan is still to upgrade Fitzsimmons Express this summer. Unfortunately, our lift manufacturing and install partner, Doppelmayr, has informed us they cannot complete both Fitz and Jersey Cream Express this summer due to their labour and resource constraints. As a result, we will be pushing construction on Jersey to summer 2024, to be complete for the 2024/25 winter season, subject to regulatory approvals. The existing Jersey lift will continue to spin next winter without interruption.

We plan to begin disassembling Fitz later this month, with construction scheduled to begin shortly thereafter. We will also begin prep work on Jersey this summer, which will expedite installation/construction in 2024.
