Red River Ski & Summer Area: New Emerald Quad Chairlift

Red River Ski & Summer Area announces the new Emerald Quad Chairlift to replace the Green Chairlift at Summit Camp. The Emerald Quad will be turning for the 2016 – 2017 ski season! The Emerald Quad will provide better access to the gentle slopes of Summit Camp and acts as a portal to terrain served by the Silver Chairlift. Summit Camp has beautiful glade areas with family friendly slopes located at an elevation of 10,350 feet. Two lifts starting at the base of the mountain and in the heart of Red River bring guests to this magical place. The Ski Tip Restaurant is positioned to overlook the beauty of Gold Hill and provides food and beverage at the Summit Camp. The Emerald Quad will load on Green Acres and rise above that to the west with views of trails wandering among the aspens. The realignment along with the Emerald Quad Chairlift will carry skiers and riders to the ridge and access The West Bowl and the Silver Chairlift. Walt Foley, Deputy General Managers stated: “The Emerald Quad will virtually eliminate lift lines at our Summit Camp by doubling the uphill capacity and traveling at nearly twice the speed of the current lift.”

Drew Judycki and Wally Dobbs, both New Mexico Ski Hall of Fame inductees, loved this area of the mountain and had a vision to incorporate the history of Red River into the Summit Camp with a mining camp theme. Bringing in buildings and antiques from real mining camps in the area, they recreated special places for families to connect and make memories. The Emerald Quad increases access to this area known as Moon Star Mining Camp. “We welcome your family to join ours on the mountain that I have called home my entire life,” says Linton Judycki. Upon receipt of the signed Decision Memorandum from Forest Supervisor James Duran, RRSA entered into a contract with Doppelmayr USA to build The Emerald Quad for Red River Ski & Summer Area.
