"The new and fully grown-up version of the Chickadee chair will continue to create the next generation of powder chasers, future Olympians and local legends, just with a bit more room to squeeze in your whole fam."
"The old Thiokol double chair will be replaced by a SkyTrac fixed-grip quad chair that will roughly double the lift's capacity."
The Chickadee double chairlift at Snowbird, operational since 1972, is being replaced by a SkyTrac fixed-grip quad chair this summer. This change aims to double the lift's capacity and improve the experience for beginners. The Chickadee lift has historical significance, having served generations of skiers. The new lift will also include a loading conveyor. Construction began on April 6, 2026, with plans to open in July to support summer activities, marking the end of an era for the old Thiokol chairlifts.
