Bolton Valley - Vista Quad

Vista Quad is a four-person fixed-grip chairlift located at Bolton Valley Resort. The chairlift runs from the main base area, up to the summit of Vista Peak. The chairlift serves the entirety of the terrain located on Vista Peak which consists of a variety of both groomed and ungroomed trails. From the top of the chairlift, skiers and riders may also access the Timberline base area. The chairlift was manufactured by Doppelmayr CTEC and installed at the resort in 2005, making it the newest chairlift at the resort. The lift replaced a 1969 Poma Double which began near the top of the Mid Mountain chairlift. The Vista Quad is the only chairlift at Bolton Valley to have replaced an old one as well as the first and only chairlift at the resort to serve the entirety of Vista Peak, top to bottom.
