The Shadow Basin chairlift offers 50% More terrain
If you are a fan of The Remarkables, which we are, you will know that this year, The Remarkables has finished upgrading the Shadow Basin Chair, elevating its finish point higher on the mountain.
It now opens some of the best advanced and expert freeride runs, accessible directly from the lift. These include Alta Chute, Boulder Basin, East Face, The Nose, Front Face, and Sunrise Face.
The elevator and Escalator chutes are just a short boot pack away. The intermediate-level Calypso Trail has been extended by 363m. The chairlift upgrades are now complete, and it is fully operational.
Increase in skiable Terrain
The chairlift will rise 374m to an elevation of 1,991m, increasing the terrain accessible by 47 hectares, nearly 50% more than the old lift.
Shadow basin chair now twice as fast
The chairlift will cut travel time by more than half, from over 8 minutes to under 4 minutes. The ride will be more comfortable and easier to board with detachable chairs and cushioned seats. The upgrade also increases capacity, seating six people per chair compared to the previous four, allowing up to 2,400 riders per hour instead of the previous chairlifts 1,500 per hour.
