ski guyASCUTNEY QUAD MOVES TO NH
February 10th 2012 11:08
Say "bye, bye" to Ascutney Mountain's detachable quad
chairlift. It's moving interstate, from Vermont to New Hampshire.
The debt holders of the financially imploded Ascutney have cut
a deal with Peak -a chain of ski areas--to sell the
Garaventa CTEC quad chairlift.
Peak plans to install the lift at its Crotched Mountain property
in southern New Hampshire. Good news for Crotched skiers,
bad news for those hoping for a reopening of Ascutney any time
soon.
The total price tag for purchasing, removing and installing the
lift is estimated at US$3 million. If successful, the Ascutney
detachable quad will add approximately 25 more acres of ski
terrain on Crotched Mountain.
In retrospect, the family Plausteiner who ran Ascutney into
its second bankruptcy, got out at the right time a few seasons
ago. Ascutney would never have fiscally survived this rather
dismal natural snowfall season.
