It's Official Like A Referee With A Whistle!


The Kaatskill Flyer, New York State's first six-passenger detachable chairlift is complete and ready to rock!

We anxiously await the arrival of winter temperatures so that we can kick-off the 2010-2011 ski and snowboard season in style.

The state-of-the-art chairlift is built by Leitner-Poma, the world's leading chairlift manufacturer. The new lift replaces our detachable quad chairlift, also manufactured by Poma, which was originally installed in 1987.

Way too warm this weekend into next week. We hope to start next week - we are keeping an eye out for optimal weather.
