Stevens Pass ski season upgrading lift, launching app for winter

STEVENS PASS — Local skiers and riders can expect to hit the slopes at Stevens Pass as early as Dec. 1, weather permitting.

Stevens Pass Ski Resort has several projects in the works before ski season starts in almost four months, including a new four-seat lift to replace the old two-seater known as Kehr’s Chair, named for Bruce Kehr, who helped construct the ski area’s first rope tow in 1937.

Concrete for the new Kehr’s Chair was finished Wednesday. The resort’s next step is to fly in crossarms and towers in a couple weeks.

The Vail Resorts-owned ski area is also launching a new app this fall. Amanda Bird, a spokesperson, said the MyEpic app will allow people to store their passes or lift tickets on their phones.
