Coming in 2027, Caberfae Peaks in Cadillac will open its third new chairlift over the past 11 years.

The new three-person chairlift, called Green Mountain, will serve at least three new beginner runs beyond the current beginner carpet area.

"We are thrilled to begin this terrain expansion," said general manager Pete Meyer. "Our skiers and riders will now have a dedicated, lift-served area to build confidence and skills before moving on to larger, more challenging slopes."

The resort previously added the "Vista Triple 1561" chair to serve North Peak in 2016 as well as the East Peak Triple in 2022 to replace and expand coverage from a former 1967 double chairlift.

Currently, the resort is clearing trees and landscaping for the lift line. Concrete work for terminal and tower foundations will be completed in 2026, and the lift is slated to be fully installed by 2027.

"Unlike our previous installations in 2016 and 2022, which replaced aging 1967 Hall double chairs, this lift adds new capacity, increasing both our overall lift count and skiable terrain," said mountain operations manager Tim Meyer. "This expansion improves the experience for skiers and riders of all ability levels and continues our mission of investing where it matters most -- on the slopes."

According to Pete Meyer, the resort has had discussions about the expansion since the last lift installation in 2022. When asked about future expansion plans for the resort, Meyer said their attention will turn to its backcountry terrain. 

"We hope to continue to expand our terrain and add another chairlift that would serve the current backcountry terrain."
