BY It may be August, but the summer heat shouldn’t deter guests from thinking about winter — especially those who want to ensure they get the most bang for their ski vacation buck.

Blackcomb Mountain will see a lift enhancement with a new high-speed quad chairlift which will replace the existing fix-grip triple chair in that zone.
