I plan to purchase a chair from a defunct ski lift someday, but $1200 seems a little bit steep, right?
With that being said, I’d pay a ridiculous amount of money for a single chair from Mad River Glen, a double from Smugglers’ Notch’s Madonna Chairlift, or one of the original Pallavicini chairs from Arapahoe Basin.
Maybe the Main Street and/or Burma lifts from Blue Mountain are that special to you. Who am I to judge!
(I’ll answer that for you. I’m nobody. I’m just a 26 year old who kind of knows how to write silly things on the internet about skiing and snowboarding…)
