Catamount - Ridge Quad

Описание: The Ridge Quad is a four-person fixed-grip chairlift located at Catamount Ski Resort. The chair runs from the base area up to the summit of the ski area. From the top of the chairlift, skiers and riders may access nearly all of Catamount's terrain which consists of mostly groomed terrain for a wide range of ability levels. This chairlift is unique in that it is located in two states, while most of the lift is located in New York the bottom terminal is just barely in Massachusetts! The chairlift was manufactured by Garaventa CTEC and installed at the resort in 2006. The chairlift was relocated from Belleayre in New York, originally installed there as the Superchief Quad in 1999.

Catamount Ski Resort is a ski area located in Egremont, Massachusetts, and Hillsdale, New York. The ski area is unique in that it is only one of three ski areas in the United States to be located in two states, the others being Heavenly in California and Nevada, and Lookout Pass in Montana and Idaho. In Massachusetts, the ski area is located just a few miles west of the town of Great Barrington, about an hour drive west of Springfield and a 2.5-hour drive west of Boston. On the New York side, the ski area is located about an hour south of Albany and about 2.5 hours north of New York City. The ski area is known for its wide variety of terrain, from a great beginner section to a wonderful collection of intermediate trails, and to some challenging steeps, Catamount has a good variety for a mountain of its size. The resort is popular with those from Western Massachusetts, New York City, and Connecticut due to its close proximity to multiple large cities. Catamount is owned by the Schaefer Family, along with fellow Massachusetts ski area Berkshire East and Bosquet. Catamount shares a season pass with Berkshire East and Bosquet, the Berkshire Summit Pass, and is also on the Indy Pass, granting pass holders two days each at the mountain.
