lower, but I anticipate a trend down,” he says, noting he had no large conveyor projects signed as of publication. “Covid flipped the script—we were doing a ton of early orders and had a pile of sales for the next year. We’ve trended away from that,” he laments. Manley expresses similar senti- ments. “The whole industry got reset to a new timeframe during Covid, but we’re backsliding toward later orders,” he says. “I think we’ll end up about the same [as 2025] based on what’s in the pipeline.” Daly contextualizes that the ski industry did very well during Covid and the influx of cash allowed ski areas of all sizes to move forward with lift projects. However, “2026 will be down,” he says. “There are some things going on in the world that are influencing our market.” Skylling sees Skytrac’s fixed-grip spe- cialty as reason for cautious optimism. “The detachables have pulled back a bit for a number of reasons, not the least of which are economic conditions in the marketplace,” he says. “Everyone’s reluc- tant to pull the trigger when they don’t know what’s going to happen with tariffs and such. They’re not signing as early. “I’m hoping we will be able to achieve similar revenue as we did this year, but I recognize we’re in a unique position with the fixed-grip market,” he says. Johns, in his first year as Doppel- mayr USA CEO, has a few large projects already signed. “2026 is shaping up to be another strong year,” he says, noting interest from independent operators is outpacing the larger conglomerates that invested heavily during Covid. “There’s macroeconomic angst, but many ski areas have long-term capital and infra- structure planning in place and will con- tinue to move forward.”
