Prime Minister to Open New Chairlift at Cardrona
Thursday, 19 June 2008 00:00
The Prime Minister will open the new Captain’s Express chairlift at Cardrona on June 27, 2008 - the opening day at Cardrona (weather permitting).

The express chairlift is part of an $8 million investment at Cardrona that has also included new snowmaking and a larger café at Captains as well as kids centre renovations, a new Olympic 2010 standard half pipe, a triple jump and a Big Air.

The Captains Express chairlift’s speed will be two and a half times quicker than the existing quad with a journey only taking 3 ½ minutes versus the existing 9 minutes. Assuming no queue, a person who skied 11 runs at Captains Basin would ski them one hour faster due to faster chairlifts.
