A surprising press release hit my inbox earlier this morning, May 16, 2025. The subject read, "A-Basin Master Development Plan", and the contents of the 122-page document that was attached had my head spinning. Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, the once independently-owned, expert-oriented haunt has big plans for expansion under new owner Alterra Mountain 122-page document covers a laundry list of subjects, but the lift expansions, upgrades, and new terrain will be of most interest to skiers and snowboarders. We'll dive a bit deeper later in the article, but here are the major proposals we've gleaned from A-Basin's ambitious Master Development Plan:1. Arapahoe Basin wants to build not one, but two gondolas in the near future. One gondola will serve the parking lots and replace the ski area's parking shuttle system. Another gondola will transport guests from the base area to base of the new beginner area.2. Construction of a new detachable chairlift called that will access a new beginner learning area called located adjacent to the current trail.3. Construction of a new groomed trail in .4. A new skier services hub to be constructed at the new beginner area.5. Optimization of current parking lots and construction of two new parking to keep up with the best stories and photos in skiing? Subscribe to the new Powder To The People newsletter for weekly updates. Arapahoe Basin has big ambitions in their Master Development Plan, but a spokesperson from the ski area clarified the intention of releasing the Plan as is. "The MDP offers us a path forward but does not guarantee anything. The idea behind MDPs is to provide the USFS with any potential project we would be interested in doing in the coming years to benefit the ski area in one big proposal," says Shayna Silverman of Arapahoe Basin. "If the USFS accepts this plan, then each project must go through NEPA. If projects are accepted by the USFS and approved by NEPA, only then it's up to us on what projects we move forward with and when."Along with the highlighted proposals listed above, Arapahoe Basin wants to increase its snowmaking capacity by 65 acres. Bolstering snowmaking capabilities in Montezuma Bowl, on the Loafer and Davis runs in The Beavers, and on the Humbug, West Gully, Upper Wrangler, Shooting Gallery, and Grizzly Road runs on the frontside of the mountain. Snowmaking will also be constructed for the new Sawmill Flats beginner Master Development Plan also mentions installing remote avalanche systems along the East Wall and within Montezuma Bowl. These devices would replace the mountain's current avalauncher systems that resemble military will continue to keep tabs on Arapahoe Basin's Master Development Plan as progress is made. At this point, there is no stated timeframe for when the new lifts, runs, or snowmaking will be constructed. We will keep you updated if and when those timeframes are disclosed.

New Highest Chairlift In America? Colorado Resort Makes Bold Proposal
A new master development plan (MDP) submitted by Copper Mountain Resort, Colorado, proposes constructing North America's highest lift. As proposed, the Jacque East lift boasts an upper terminal soaring above 13,000 feet. North America's current highest lift is the Imperial Superchair at Breckenridge Ski Resort, Colorado. It tops out at 12,840 new lift would serve an expanded area of Copper Mountain Resort's operational boundary that aims to open the eastern face of Jacque Peak to to keep up with the best stories and photos in skiing? Subscribe to the new Powder To The People newsletter for weekly expansion on Jacque Peak falls within the resort's existing special use permit (SUP) boundary and includes another supporting lift, the new fixed-grip, three-person Thunderbird. The Jacque East lift, meanwhile, would be detachable so it could better handle high winds and anticipated demand, according to the MDP. The terrain expansion covers about 500 acres, and according to the MDP, would be among the highest skiable areas in North America, making it a prospective 'bucket list' destination. Much of the terrain is reserved for advanced and expert skiers, but the MDP noted that the area is accessible for strong intermediates, wide-reaching MDP didn't stop there. In the next ten years, the goal for Copper Mountain Resort is to rely on its existing SUP to meet 'the ever-growing demand for developed recreational skiing,' according to the Mountain Resort hopes to construct several more lifts, including eight upgrades to its existing lift infrastructure. One replacement proposes transforming the Super Bee lift into a detachable eight-seater with a mid-station. If the new Super Bee gets constructed, Copper Mountain Resort would be one of the few ski areas in the U.S. with an eight-seater lift. In addition to the Jacque East and Thunderbird lifts, four more completely new lifts are proposed, including Union Meadows. This detachable quad would serve the titular Union Meadows as well as Tucker Gulch, and Copper improvements proposed in the MDP include expansions of guest services like the replacement of the T-Rex Grill and Flyer's Restaurant, a Remote Avalanche Control (RAC) system in Tucker Gulch, and as well as glading projects around the plans submitted by ski resorts don't promise rapid evolution. Instead, they're carefully constructed wishlists that provide a look at what the future might hold. Copper Mountain Resort is required to submit MDPs on a periodic basis per the requirements of its SUP with the White River National can view the entire MDP here.
