Pic Blanc Lift Opening Delayed Due to Storm Damage
The Pic Blanc ski lift, initially slated to open on January 17th, has been postponed until at least January 30th, with a realistic expectation of opening closer to the February holidays. The delay is attributed to significant cable damage sustained during Storm Benjamin, necessitating a complete cable replacement. Despite the setback, repair crews are working diligently day and night to expedite the opening.
"The damage caused by Storm Benjamin back whenever it was caused major damage, not just to the structure, but the actual cables of the lift. So, the whole cables are due to be spliced together and replaced with new cables within the next couple of weeks."
