Malone, New York — While Titus Mountain has had a great season, last week was bumpy due to a fire.
Last Thursday night, the top lift shack for Chair One caught fire. The reason why is uncertain. The flames were caught by a groomer who was laying down the corduroy. That employee ended up extinguishing the fire himself. Unfortunately, the structure was completely lost.
For now, Chair 1 remains closed, meaning the terrain it services in inaccessible. The other chairlift that serviced this terrain, Chair II, is no longer operational. Because of this, Titus is offering lift tickets at a reduced price.
