  • This lift is now removed. It operated at Sunday River from 1994 to 2022. It now operates at Pleasant Mountain, in Bridgeton Maine. It was replaced with an 8-person D-Line lift, called the Jordan 8 in 2022. View the new lift here! • Jordan 8 - Sunday Rive...
    The Jordan Bowl Express was a high speed quad at Sunday River Maine, and was part of the largest expansion on the east coast when constructed in 1994. Serving 3 direct trails and the Jordan Grand Hotel, the lift is quite well known across the mountain as a large and spacious place for crowds to spread, and disperse across. Generally speaking, some of the best terrain on the mountain is located here. Rogue Angel and Lollapaloza are always skiers favorites.
    The Jordan Bowl Express was replaced by an 8 passenger chairlift in summer of 2022, and features heated seats, red bubbles, and re-elevated summit. The summit of Jordan will be brought down a substantially by 50 feet, creating a natural barrier for the top terminal and less hight for the top breakover. Jordans breakover at the top (Towers 14 - 16) is one of biggest factors that plagues the lift, as 9 out of 10 times it and Aurora are closed for wind. This issue is one of the reasons why it is being replaced with a new 8 passenger lift, making Jordan less prone to wind.

    It is also possible (Boyne has yet to make an announcement about the project) that this lift will be re-located over to Pleasant Mountain (Shawnee Peak) in the near future. As of March 24th, 2022 the idea is still up in the air, and the idea is still just a rumor. Considering that Pleasant in suitable enough for such a high capacity lift, it will most likely go there instead of what is already planned (Jordan Bowl replacing Barker Mountain Express).
