SKYLINE EXPRESS Update
UPDATE ON CONSTRUCTION OF SKYLINE EXPRESS AND MTN BIKING
We want to share an update regarding Bluewood’s summer planning and ongoing projects.
As many of you know, maintenance work is already underway on the fleet and the Nickel. We have also continued moving forward on the Skyline Express project and have recently gained access to the remaining lift components currently located in Austria. We are currently working with a shipping company to get those scheduled on a vessel in order to arrive as soon as possible.
At this time, it is still too early to determine whether installation can fully proceed this summer. Until all remaining components arrive and can be fully inspected, there is too much uncertainty to eliminate the risk of impacting the winter season. Our team must have complete confidence that the project can be completed within the timeline available.
In the meantime, groundwork and concrete preparation will continue so the mountain is as ready as possible should shipment timelines improve.
We will continue providing updates throughout the summer as more information becomes available.
