Eagle Chair Maintenance: The Birds' Got Fresh Wings

Constructed in 1998, The Eagle Chairlift is a favourite among Mount Washington guests! With over 30,000 hours running, Eagle Chair was due for scheduled preventative work, an undertaking by our Lift Maintenance crew over the last few months. The project included a new drive station bullwheel and a final drive bearing replacements.

A huge shout-out goes to York Machine in Campbell River for squeezing us in and working OT to get a last-minute bit of machining done on the same day; this helped to keep the Eagle Chair project progressing on time, and even to open early! Other key partners were Kissling Gearbox from Switzerland, Murray Latta Progressive Machine in Surrey, and Rigging Specialties from Canmore Alberta. Special thanks to all these key players for helping to get the old bird some fresh wings. Enjoy laps on Eagle Chair this weekend, December 7th to 8th, 2024.
