Rise Up Challenge

Push to The Latest: No

A good lift mechanic is hard to find. Leitner-Poma of America wants to help the industry rise up to the challenge of supporting the next generation of lift mechanics, with the fifth annual Rise Up Challenge.

To enter, nominate an up-and-comer in your lift department who exemplifies a passion for a career in lift maintenance. Six resorts will be chosen to create a video highlighting the strengths and potential of an up-and-coming lift mechanic. Viewers will be able to watch all six videos this summer and vote for their favorite. The team with the most votes will win an education grant valued at $3,500, courtesy of Leitner-Poma of America.

Nominations will close on April 28, 2025.

"A resort's lift infrastructure is truly the lifeblood and foundation for all operations and a cornerstone of customer experience and satisfaction. As a supplier, we are committed to helping the industry foster and develop the absolute best technicians possible to support this infrastructure.
