Powderhorn's Wild West Express Takes Shape as Construction Ramps Up Ahead of 60th Season
Powderhorn Mountain Resort's long-awaited lift upgrade is no longer just a plan. Crews have finished dismantling the 54-year-old West End double, and work has begun on the high-speed quad set to replace it - a refurbished ex-Elk Camp lift from Aspen Snowmass getting a full rebuild from Leitner-Poma. The new Wild West Express will cut the old lift's notorious 13-minute crawl to just six minutes, arriving for Powderhorn's 60th anniversary season in 2026-27. Here's where construction stands.
