The mountain has been preparing a bid package, and the project will be advertised at the end of October, Keeler said. It’s expected that the bid process will be complete in late spring of 2024, he said, and, after that, the company selected will reinspect the system and formulate a plan.
Keeler said the tramway will run this winter season and possibly next.
“We expect to be able to run the tram for summer [2024] and possibly for winter [2024-2025], if the construction process hasn’t started yet,” Keeler said. “It would depend on whatever the winning bidder gives us for a timeline. We’re hoping [the closure] won’t go beyond one summer and one winter, but that’s to be determined.”
