Arapahoe Basin is going to replace the Lenawee triple with their first high-speed detachable 6-seat chairlift. Construction is planned for 2022. Lenawee provides access to a lot of the upper mountain terrain, including Montezum Bowl on the backside. Also good for lapping the open blue terrain more or less under the lift.
"Arapahoe Basin has reached a deal with its longtime lift supplier Leitner-Poma to replace the Lenawee Mountain triple next year. The mountain’s first six place chairlift will increase throughput from 1,800 skiers per hour to 2,400. “In addition to 6-packs being more stable in high winds, we felt this lift would do the best job of increasing capacity,” wrote Chief Operating Officer Al Henceroth on his always informative blog. “Through our planning we felt the need to upgrade the capacity of Lenawee from 1,800 people per hour (pph) to 2,400 pph. While this could technically be achieved with a quad chair, we felt that in actual use, the 6-pack would be far more effective achieving that goal of 2400 pph,” he continued.
