Sam Magazine - Donner Summit, CA, April 9, 2008 - A Doppelmayr quad chair will highlight $2.6 million in improvements at California's Boreal. The new Castle Peak Quad will replace the existing Gunnar's double chair, increasing base area capacity on beginner/novice runs and evolution terrain parks. The new lift will take skiers and riders to a slightly higher end point than the Gunnar's chair. In addition, the resort will also be upgrading to a fully automated SMI fan snowmaking system that will double its current output capacity and dramatically improve efficiency. The expanded snowmaking system will not only increase capacity, it will reduce the resort's carbon emissions by over 300 tons by eliminating compressed air.
