Introduction

Cerro Bayo is typical of the resorts in the Lakes District. Like the others, the chairlift is often required to carry skiers from the low base to the treeline from where consistent skiing can be enjoyed throughout the season. This crucial lift was operational at Cerro Bayo for the 1989 season and replaces the older poma beside it. Above the top of the chair, at the 1,500m (4,920ft) level, there is great skiing on a protected ridge and in a plunging, south-facing bowl.

The chairlift is hardly the only new improvement at Cerro Bayo. The summit was recently reached for the first time by a new T-Bar which retrieves skiers from the basin at the bottom of the bowl. The old wooden poles of the upper poma lift have been replaced with modern steel towers, and the rickety baskets of boulders have been restored with new cement counterweights. Every season, Cerro Bayo sees a new improvement, be it a new lift, a new run, or other upgraded facilities. If you haven't skied Cerro Bayo lately, you haven't skied Cerro Bayo.

1995 saw the installation of Cerro Bayo's second chairlift. The Telesilla del Bosque is a great improvement that not only made the upper slopes easier to ski, but gave out-of-bounds skiers an easier return from runs off the Cerro Bayo peak. A new refugio (Deck 18) was built near the top of the new chairlift. Most importantly, tree clearing has been underway to provide an easier return to the base for those venturing to the wilderness terrain of Travesia Tuba. New for the 1997 season is the addition of another snow cat and the construction of a Snowboard Park.
