By

PENINSULA, Ohio – Both Brandywine and Boston Mills ski resorts are slated to get new, four-person chairlifts, but not until the 2022-23 ski season.

The local investment was included in a larger announcement from Vail Resorts, which said it will spend $320 million next season across 14 properties.

Boston Mills, located in Summit County’s Boston Township, will get a new four-person chairlift to replace an existing two-person lift. Brandywine, in Sagamore Hills Township, will also get a new four-person lift, which will replace a triple lift.

The Summit County parks, along with Alpine Valley in Geauga County and Mad River Mountain near Zanesfield, were purchased by Vail in 2019. The company owns 34 resorts in North America, plus three in Australia.

The company said the new chairlifts should reduce wait times, increase uphill capacity and improve the overall guest experience.

Vail announced earlier this week new health and safety rules for the upcoming ski season, including a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for guests 12 and older who want to eat at the parks’ indoor restaurants.
