The Stella chairlift on Schweitzer Mountain Resort is the only six-person chairlift in the state of Idaho and the story behind it is worth knowing. KREM 2 sat down with Schweitzer’s marketing managerDig Chrismer who traced its origins back to former Disney Imagineer Geoff Puckett and local writer Sandy Compton. The rest reads like a moden day alpine fairytale. Whether you believe in Phineas and Stella or not, you have to appreciate the local flair.
