"Industry NewsVermont's Killington Resort, the largest ski and snowboard destination in Eastern North America, announces that the Superstar Six, the resort's newest chairlift, will open to the public on Saturday, November 29, at 9:00 a.m. To commemorate the occasion, Killington will host a Superstar Opening Party, which will be complete with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, a bubly toast, and exclusive giveaway items only available on the lift's opening day."
"The lift itself, a high-speed six-person chairlift, is the first Dopplemayr chairlift in Killington's history. It was completed ahead of its originally scheduled opening date of early December thanks to smooth coordination between Dopplemayr and Killington's Mountain Operations team. The highlights of the construction timeline were the three "fly days" in May, July, and August-helicopters were used to transport the old lift towers, pour concrete for the new lift towers, and finally move the new lift towers into place."
""The completion of the new Superstar lift is a testament to the backing of our independent ownership and the work of our dedicated Mountain Ops staff," Mike Solimano said, President & CEO of Killington Resort & Pico Mountain. "We're thrilled to get this lift and terrain open ahead of schedule, and we're looking forward to continuing to invest heavily in our guest experience.""

The lift is the resort's first Dopplemayr installation and was completed ahead of early-December schedule due to coordinated efforts with Dopplemayr and Mountain Operations. Construction included three helicopter "fly days" to remove and install towers and pour concrete. A $12 million lift replacement contributes to a $38 million summer infrastructure investment. The opening features a custom pair of Superstar-themed skis giveaway and special app-based rider selections.
