We did a thing today! Our first full load test with the Chairlift Water Tender!



It’s hard to believe it’s been two years since we developed the first prototype of the Chairlift Water Tender. Today, November 20, 2024, we successfully load-tested two double chairs at Mountain Top at Grand Geneva in Wisconsin. These shorter lifts were perfect for testing, with up to 17 chairs loaded with CWTs.

 

Over the past few months, we’ve made significant progress leading up to today’s tests. These Chairlift Water Tenders are now incredibly easy to set up, fill, dump, and move to the next lift. A third load test is scheduled in two days, after which everything will be shipped back to CHS in a conveniently packable IBC tote.

 

In the coming weeks, we’ll be putting together a comprehensive video showcasing the entire process, along with more details about how the Chairlift Water Tenders work. Looking ahead to 2025, we’re excited to display them at trade shows and demonstrate them on lifts during these events.

 

Thanks to recent design improvements, we’ve been able to simplify the Chairlift Water Tender final design significantly, reducing production costs along the way. Proudly made in Idaho, we will announce pricing in January 2025.

 

Thank you for your support as we share our innovative solution with the ski industry!
