Barker 6
A TRANSFORMATIVE LEAP AHEAD
Opened December 9, 2023, the Barker 6 is the fastest 6-person lift in North America.
Join us for a trip down memory lane through our exclusive video series detailing the build of the Barker 6 chairlift, where we'll take you behind the scenes to witness the engineering that brought the second D-line lift to the Sunday River fleet.
Poetry in Motion
Servicing beloved terrain from White Cap to North Peak, the Barker 6 takes skiers to the summit of Barker Mountain, providing a fast and comfortable ride from one of the most popular base areas at the resort.
The countdown has begun
The last chair was called on the Barker Quad on April 16, 2023, and the team immediately began the process of building the new Barker 6. But that was just the beginning. Simultaneously, teams started working on the second Merrill Hill Triple and three major snowmaking infrastructure projects. Needless to say, they kept pretty busy.
Lifts as memorable as the skiing
It's important to remember where you've been to understand where you're going.
The Homestretch
After a long summer of construction, the end of the Barker 6 and the second Merrill Hill lift project is near.
The future is here
Eights months of hard work is finally complete.
