Niseko's New Lift Has Arrived

01 December, 2017 Sofie Lahtinen

Enjoy less time waiting and more time on the slopes with the new Ace Family Quad Lift in Niseko.

The new long-awaited Ace Family Quad Lift is a high-speed, detachable quad chair which more than doubles lift capacity and takes guests further up the slope than before, roughly 300 metres above the base of the Ace Quad Chair.

We caught the very first lift up this morning and here is all the action from the opening day.

The upgrade of this lift has been long awaited, previously the Family Pair, which has now been transformed and is ready to ride for the Winter 2017/18 season.

Not only does the new quad lift reduce wait times, it also allows you to ride up with your family and friends with four seats rather than the previous two-seater chair.

Australian-born and Euro-blooded, Sofie has been living in Niseko since 2016. When she's not behind a desk, she gets her kicks from yoga, cycling, Mother Nature, and as a self-confessed 'speed-demon', riding anything with wheels or a motor is top of the list. Sofie's perfect day ends by getting red-faced in an onsen, then polishing off a bowl of Hokkaido's famous soup curry (yes, it's a thing!).
