CMC and NSAA partner to provide online lift maintenance education for resort communities

Colorado Mountain College and the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) are providing free, online education for lift mechanics who wish to expand their skillsets and supplement existing educational opportunities.

Each of the ten online courses are designed to be completed by individual lift mechanics, allowing them to learn at their own pace and select topics that they need the most. Topics covered include basic rigging, AC motor basics, hydraulic diagrams, diagrams and blueprints and more.

The online curriculum is available to NSAA members and their employees at resorts across the country. As of late September, CMC and NSAA have provided online training to 119 domestic and international ski areas.

NSAA thanks presenting sponsor Leitner-Poma and partnership sponsors Doppelmayr and the Rocky Mountain Lift Association.
