More options for fun Stevens Pass resort to replace 2 chair lifts and add trails, skill parks

currently a two-person lift with a bar in the center. Brooks serves a lot of beginner and intermediate terrain. That style of lift can be intimidating for beginners and Hetze said replacing the chair will help ski and snowboard school students progress more quickly to intermediate terrains. The lift will also serve the terrain park. Its increased carrying capacity will alleviate demand for some of the other lifts. In short, Stevens Pass would like skiers and snowboarders to have more time on the snow and less time on the lifts or in line.

EVERETT — She was just 10 when they first met, and in the fourth grade. He was 45, and then a police officer who went into Monroe elementary school classrooms and taught students strategies for avoiding drugs and making other good choices. She’d spot him driving his patrol car through the small town they both called home. He’d sometimes stop to talk and showed an interest in her life. Back then, she thought Carlos Alberto Martinez “was a good person, well-known and appreciated in the community.” Now 26, the young woman on Friday told a Snohomish County Superior Court jury about the confusion, shame and guilt she came to feel after the former Monroe police sergeant began to transform their connection into something sexual. Martinez, now 61, is accused of fixating on the girl and, over a period of years, grooming her into what deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul has described as a “very twisted relationship.” The sexualized behavior allegedly started when the girl was in her teens and continued until she was in her early 20s and living as Martinez’s girlfriend in Texas.

A mountain biker speeds through a turn at Stevens Pass Bike Park on the park’s first opening weekend in 2014. The resort has gotten permission from the U.S. Forest Service to add trails and skill parks at in its mountain bike park, along with replacing two chair lifts.

By Jessi Loerch Herald Writer

Stevens Pass Mountain Resort has received approval from the U.S. Forest Service to replace two chair lifts, add a rope tow and expand its mountain bike area by adding new trails and two new skills parks. The two chair lifts, Kehr’s (previously known as Big Chief) and Brooks, were built in the 1960s. Because both are getting older, they are starting to need more maintenance, said Alyssa Hetze, communications and social media manager. Replacing them also will improve the experience

for skiers and snowboarders by reducing congestion and improving how people move around the mountain. Hetze said there’s no timeline yet for when the replacement work will begin. Kehr’s, currently a double lift, will be replaced with a fixedgrip, triple-chair lift. Brooks will be replaced with either a highspeed quad or a fixed-grip quad. On a fixed-grip chair, the chairs are attached permanently to one cable and the chairs move the same speed in the loading area and while traveling up the mountain. On a high-speed lift, the chair transfers to a slower

cable while in the loading area, allowing passengers to load easily, and then the chair transfers back to a high-speed cable for a faster trip up the mountain. The replacement of Kehr’s will also include removal of a water tank that is under the ramp used to access the lift. That will allow users to slide downhill to the lift, rather than having to climb uphill, and will help traffic flow more smoothly in that area. Kehr’s serves the area’s more difficult terrain, and also offers access to the Double Diamond lift to ski the backside of the ski area. The Brooks chairlift is
