Swift Current 6
America's Fastest 6-Place Chairlift
Explore the project:
Swift Current 6 is the most recent step in Big Sky Resort's transformational 2025 Vision
Replacing the Swift Current high-speed quad, this new state-of-the-art chairlift increases uphill capacity out of the Mountain Village base area by up to 50%. A gearless drive makes for whisper-quiet operations and significantly improves energy efficiency. On the hill, the new 90-degree unload will exit skiers toward the bowl on Jay Walk, creating a smoother skier flow. Equipped with Big Sky Blue weatherproof bubbles, ultrawide heated seats, and individual headrests and footrests, this highly anticipated upgrade offers unrivaled comfort and speed on the mountain.
