New Meadows Chairlift at Boyne Mountain

This season (08/09) Boyne Mountain is replacing the Meadows Chairlift with a higher speed, fixed grip, conveyor load lift. This lift not only travels faster than the original, it’s easier to load thanks to a conveyor belt system giving riders a seamless transition from snow to seat. The new lift also extends further down the slope allowing speedy and more convenient access from the day visitor parking lots. (Click on photos to enlarge.)
