A good lift mechanic is hard to find. Leitner-Poma of America wants to help the industry rise up to the challenge of supporting the next generation of lift mechanics, with the fourth annual Rise Up Challenge.
Six lift maintenance teams were chosen to participate in the 2025 Rise Up Challenge: Arapahoe Basin, Colo.; Deer Valley, Utah; Killington Resort, Vt.; Mansfield Ski Club, Ont.; Mt. Hood Meadows, Ore.; and Powder Ridge, Minn.
Congratulations to Tait Lineham of Killington! He won an education grant valued at $3,500, courtesy of Leitner-Poma of America. You can still view all the videos below and be inspired.
