Sunlight Mountain Resort is thrilled to share the latest updates on our extensive lift replacement projects for the Segundo and Primo chairlifts. Construction is progressing on schedule as we work to deliver a smoother and more modern experience for our guests this winter.

Segundo Lift Progress
Construction on the Segundo replacement is approximately 60% complete for the concrete phase. Crews are actively working on the lift line foundations, with all concrete expected to be poured and set by the first week of August.

Throughout the project, Sunlight Mountain Resort is committed to best management practices to protect the surrounding environment. Measures including wattles, sediment fences, and other sediment control systems are in place to prevent runoff into nearby waterways. Revegetation of disturbed areas will begin when the region enters a wetter precipitation cycle, ensuring the best chance of sustainable regrowth given current dry conditions.

Once the concrete work is complete, crews will move on to erecting towers and installing cross arms along the lift line.

Primo Lift Progress
Significant strides have also been made on the Primo lift replacement. To date, six tower foundations have been poured. The foundation for the bottom terminal is scheduled to be completed by the end of this week. Work will then shift to excavation and preparation for the top terminal.

Utility lines at the top of Primo have already been successfully rerouted to support the new lift infrastructure.

We are pleased to report that all part deliveries from POMA, our lift manufacturer partner, continue to arrive on schedule.

Both lift projects remain firmly on track for completion in the fall, ahead of the upcoming ski season.

A Message from Cindy
I am incredibly proud of our Sunlight team and the progress they are making alongside the POMA construction crew. We’re so excited to share these improvements with our community at our Skier Picnic on October 18th. I can’t wait for you and your families to enjoy the new chairs this winter.

Stay tuned for more information about the Skier Picnic on October 18th.
