The Chair 6 Barn serves as both the operational terminus for Alyeska's high-capacity six-person chairlift and as the primary maintenance facility for the resort's lift fleet.
The building's structural steel frame is engineered for 175 psf roof snow loads — the extreme design condition for Alyeska's mid-mountain elevation — while maintaining unobstructed interior column spacing for heavy equipment maneuvering.
The heated maintenance bay includes a lift above the valley floor for component-level lift carrier maintenance, with a separate tool and parts storage wing accessed from the exterior apron.
