Charlotte Pass Snow Resort

Charlotte Pass Snow Resort is preparing for an exciting 2026 winter season as the new Guthries Double Chair reaches the final stages of construction and the first snowfall of the year blankets the mountain. Skiers and snowboarders have plenty to look forward to, from improved lift access to fresh alpine snow.

Guthries Double Chair: A New Era for Charlotte Pass

The Guthries Double Chair is set to replace the beloved Guthries Poma, offering a smoother and faster lift experience. All major structural elements are now in place, the haul rope has been spliced, and work is progressing on fitting the chairs in preparation for load testing and final commissioning.

This new lift will unlock a fantastic section of the mountain, enhancing terrain accessibility for both experienced skiers and first-time visitors. It promises to improve circulation across the resort and reduce wait times, ensuring more time on the slopes.
