The first lift was opened on August 2, 1958. The lift was made in the factoryŽičnica Ljubljana and it was in service for 15 years. In 1966 they built two new lifts, singlechair Gospinica and doublechair which connected Tiha dolina and Njivice. In 1968 they got the first Snow groomer, which increased the quality of ski slopes. In 1973 a consortium was established for Krvavec's development. The result was the new Poma gondola known as eggs. In 1973 they also built two new doublechairs Vrh Krvavca and Njivice and two surface lifts Podradišče and Luža. In 1978 the ski resort was expanded to the Križ Pasture. They built a surface lift system Križišče and a new doublechair Kriška planina. Today's ski resort's top elevation was reached in 1983 when the new doublechair Zvoh was built. In 1989 the Njivice doublechair was replaced with two doublechair lifts Njivice I and Njivice II. In 1999 a new gondola lift replaced the old one and it provided a better connection between the mountain and the valley. In 2006 a new Doppelmayr sixchair replaced an old doublechair Vrh Krvavca and in 2008 a new Doppelmayr's fourchair replaced an old doublechair Tiha Dolina.In 2010 Zvoh doublechair got new Doppelmayr's seats. In 2012 summer season they opened Summer Park Krvavec and in 2013 they opened a new Doppelmayr surface lift Luža with a double capacity as the 40 years old forerunner.

In the early 1990s, plans for Krvavec Ski Resort were extensive, such as expanding the resort to Korenski Vrh and even to the Kalški greben peak, which is over 2000 meters high. These plans covered even the expansion to the eastern side of the Križ Pasture with the new connection with the lift Jezerca. The construction of the new detachable fourchair Jezerca has been proposed since the 1990s, but it hasn't been realized until now, nevertheless it is expected that its construction will be begin in the next years. The Slovenian Government has already issued the concession for the construction and the project is now at the stage of getting the constructional permission.
