On the morning of December 15, Ramcharger 8, the first eight-seat chairlift in North America and the most technologically advanced chairlift in the world, debuted at Big Sky Resort.
“Doppelmayr and Boyne Resorts have been collaborating for over 40 years, and together have introduced many firsts to the ski industry,” said Stephen Kircher, president of Boyne Resorts. Boyne Resorts’ history of innovation in the ski industry also includes introducing the world’s first triple and quad chairlifts and America’s first high-speed six-place chairlift. Ramcharger 8’s installation marks the fifth historic chairlift upgrade for Boyne Resorts.
“The upgrades unveiled today at Big Sky Resort mark a new age of lift technology in major zones of the mountain,” said Taylor Middleton, president and general manager of Big Sky Resort.
The new eight-seat, Direct Drive, D-line chairlift can transport over 3,000 riders to the top of Andesite Mountain per hour, paving the way for future on-mountain upgrades and making for easy access to Everett’s 8800, a mountain-top fine dining experience featuring American alpine fare.
“Ramcharger 8 is the culmination of everything we have learned so far, and incorporates many firsts for the North American market; first eight-passenger chairlift, first direct drive motor, first locking restraint bar, first height-adjustable loading carpet, first high resolution video display, and the first of our newest generation detachable lifts, the D-Line,” Mark Bee said, president of Doppelmayr USA. “We look forward to continuing to work with Boyne Resorts and Big Sky as they execute the Big Sky 2025 vision.”
The resort announced the addition three Omega V gondola cabins to Ramcharger 8 slated for the 2019-2020 winter season. Two will be dedicated dining cars, allowing guests to sit around a table installed in the cabin for a premier dining experience.
“With the addition of the Omega V dining cars, Big Sky will be home to the smallest restaurant in North America,” Kircher said, half in jest. The third car will be reserved as a VIP cabin. The Omega V gondola cabins will be the first of their kind to debut in North America. The resort also confirmed plans to add a night skiing experience on Andesite Mountain serviced by Ramcharger 8 in the future.
Shedhorn 4, a new Dopplemayr high-speed quad on the south face of the Lone Mountain, is expected to open before Christmas Day.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
