As the winter season transitions into spring, the pace of work across the industry doesn’t slow—it simply shifts. At Leitner-Poma of America, installation season is already well underway, with projects taking shape at resorts across North America. Many of these efforts are being carried out in close collaboration with longtime customers and partners, reflecting the shared commitment that continues to drive progress across the mountain operations community.
This moment also marks the launch of a new initiative: a dedicated newsletter designed to strengthen connections across the industry. Delivered several times throughout the year, the publication will highlight timely stories, meaningful partnerships, and practical insights drawn from real-world projects, people, and communities.
More than just an update, the newsletter is intended as an extension of the relationships that define the business—offering a more direct and personal way to stay engaged with customers, partners, and industry peers.
A Look at What’s Ahead
The inaugural issue focuses on several key areas that reflect both current priorities and future direction. Among them is the introduction of a new surface lift line, specifically designed and manufactured for the North American market. This development underscores a continued investment in regionally focused solutions that meet the evolving needs of ski areas.
Also featured is a preview of a next-generation terminal design, representing ongoing innovation in lift infrastructure. In addition, readers will find updates on the Pipeline Project and insights into the company’s ongoing partnership with Arapahoe Basin Ski Area—a collaboration that highlights the value of long-term relationships in delivering successful outcomes.
Sharing Insight, Supporting Decisions
Looking forward, the newsletter will continue to spotlight partnerships, emerging technologies, and broader industry trends. The goal is simple: to provide useful, experience-based insights that can help inform planning, investment decisions, and operational strategies across ski areas.
A Continued Commitment
At the core of this effort is a deep appreciation for the trust placed in Leitner-Poma of America by its customers and partners. That trust continues to shape the company’s direction, including its ongoing Made in America initiative—focused on delivering quality, reliability, and long-term value.
With the NSAA National Convention approaching, the team looks forward to connecting in person with industry colleagues in Carlsbad and continuing the conversations that move the industry forward.
