Cardrona's New Soho Basin Opening Postponed
Cardrona Alpine Resort has announced a delay in opening its new Soho Basin area. The resort planned to unveil 150 hectares of new terrain this weekend, but warmer weather and predicted rain have forced a postponement. Resort officials will announce a new opening date in the coming days, as they monitor conditions closely.
The Soho Basin development has been a significant project for Cardrona, with planning and construction spanning about a decade. Located behind the top of McDougall's Chandola and Captain's Express, the new area is set to offer fresh opportunities for both intermediate and advanced skiers and riders. The expansion includes a six-seater chairlift, installed over the past two years, and extensive earthworks completed in recent months.
Heath Richmond, Cardrona's mountain manager, described the project as the largest he's seen in his 16-year tenure at the resort. The team compressed about two years' worth of work into a single busy summer to prepare the basin for its debut.
