Jordan 8
Bigger. Better. Bolder.
The Jordan 8, which opened on December 26, 2022, is one of the most advanced chairlifts in the world, and the fastest 8-person chairlift in North America. A Doppelmayr D-Line design, the lift features ergonomic heated seats, the first weather-blocking bubbles in the world in our signature Sunday River Red, and is built to withstand wind.
Let's explore how the Jordan 8 has propelled Sunday River into a new sphere of modern chairlift infrastructure.
A view of the future
The Jordan 8 services terrain on the Oz and Jordan Bowl peaks. This part of Sunday River will come to be known as the Western Reserve as future terrain development plans come to life in the several thousand acres of land beyond Jordan Bowl.
