Aspen: Improvements for 2005/06 season
Village Express Lift
The existing Fanny Hill chairlift will be replaced with a six-passenger lift
named Village Express. A speedy 9.5-minute ride gets you from the bottom of
Fanny Hill to the top of Sam's Knob, with a mid-way unloading station for
those wishing to access beginner terrain. Village Express accommodates 2,800
people per hour, is 10,057 feet long and has 2,174 vertical feet of rise.
Mall Connector
A fast and fun aerial connection between existing Snowmass Village Mall and new
Base Village connects commercial centers and integrates conference activities.
This two-minute ride (think of it as an elevator on cables between two
retail centers) provides uphill or downhill connectivity to a one-of-a-kind
Snowmass Village complex. Cabins are six-passenger. The Mall Connector offers
lower Fanny Hill skiing and snowboarding access for children's learn-to-ski/snowboard
programs.
