Pico Mountain, VT, to Retire Outpost Double Chairlift - SnowBrains
"The Outpost double was a defining part of Pico's character and one of the last Italian-made Carlevaro & Savio lifts in North America. We know this one will hit home for a lot of people. For many of us, the Outpost Double was more than just a chairlift. It truly was part of what made Pico, Pico."
"Following the main drive-shaft failure this winter, a comprehensive engineering review was carried out. After exploring all possible repair options, the resort decided that repairing the lift was not feasible due to its age and lack of available parts."
Pico Mountain, Vermont, announced the retirement of the Outpost double chair after a main drive-shaft failure. Installed in 1969, the lift served advanced terrain. An engineering review concluded that repairs were not feasible due to the lift's age. A permanent replacement will not be ready for next winter, prompting the resort to consider temporary options like a rope tow. The Outpost double was significant to Pico's identity and was one of the last Italian-made Carlevaro & Savio lifts in North America.
