The Aspen Skiing Co. will seek approvals to build a high-speed, four-passenger chairlift at Tiehack this summer after an important hurdle was cleared Tuesday, spokesman Jeff Hanle said Wednesday.
The Maroon Creek Subdivision Homeowners Association voted Tuesday to sign an agreement with the Skico regarding the chairlift, according to Hanle and Leonard Lansburgh, president of the homeowners association.
The association granted an easement for a new chairlift and it agreed to make a financial contribution, Lansburgh said. He wouldn't disclose the amount of the financial contribution.
“We are contributing a significant amount,” Lansburgh said. “It's an improvement to the mountain. That's how our homeowners looked at it.”
The homeowners currently provide an annual subsidy for the Lower Tiehack chairlift, also known as the Eagle Hill lift, according to Lansburgh. The annual subsidy for the new chairlift will continue “for a few more years” then the agreement will expire, he said.
