~ During a routine pre-season maintenance check at Eaglecrest Ski Area, it was discovered that the Black Bear Chairlift has sustained significant mechanical damage. This damage has rendered the lift unsafe for operation, causing concern for the upcoming ski season.

The age of the Black Bear Chairlift and the extent of the damage make it difficult to find an immediate solution. As a result, it is unlikely that the lift will be able to operate when the ski season opens on December 7, 2024. This news may cause delays and inconvenience for guests at Eaglecrest.
