Shadow Mountain lift closed, awaiting replacement part

The Shadow Mountain lift on Aspen Mountain experienced a mechanical issue on the afternoon of Thursday, according to Aspen Skiing Co. Maintenance teams determined the lift needs a new part that is no longer in stock, and the part must be fabricated. The part should be ready and delivered late next week, and the teams will make the needed repairs at that time, according to the press release.

Additionally, after this weekend, there may be intermittent run closures due to vehicle traffic on the hill due to upcoming World Cup races without the access provided by the lift; the Little Nell and Bell chairs will operate daily until the Shadow Mountain lift is back online, according to the press release.
