Mt. Seymour To Upgrade Lodge Chair to Quad

A new quad chair is coming to Mt. Seymour, British Columbia, replacing the mountain’s Mueller double which has been in operation since 1985. Doppelmayr Canada will build the Lodge Chair 2.0 and this will be a 160 horsepower fixed grip quad with seven towers and 44 chairs. The new lift will transport 1,600 skiers per hour, a 70 percent increase over the current double.A loading conveyor with automatic gates should allow the lift to run 2.3 meters per second with a ride time of just 3.2 minutes. The lift will become the second modern Doppelmayr chair on the mountain and is expected to debut for the 2023/24 ski season.
