Skiers and snowboarders who have spent years making memories at Camelback Resort in Pennsylvania will soon have the chance to take home a unique piece of the mountain’s history. The resort has announced plans to sell chairs from four longtime ski lifts that have carried generations of guests across its slopes.
The offering gives longtime visitors and collectors an opportunity to own an authentic chair that once served one of the most recognizable ski areas in the Pocono Mountains. Camelback has opened a wait list for those who want early notification when the chairs become available for purchase.
Four Classic Lifts Included
Chairs from the Cleopatra triple chairlift, the Marc Antony double chairlift, and the original Sunbowl I and Sunbowl II double chairlifts will be offered for sale. For decades these lifts transported countless skiers and snowboarders while serving as the backdrop for family vacations, first ski lessons, powder days, and unforgettable moments on the mountain.
While the resort has not yet announced pricing or an official sale date, joining the wait list will allow interested buyers to receive updates before the chairs become available to the general public.
A Growing Trend Across Ski Resorts
Selling retired chairlift chairs has become increasingly popular at ski resorts across North America. Rather than sending the chairs to a scrapyard, many ski mountains have choosen to preserve their history by offering them directly to guests.
That way the chairs can find new lives as patio seating, cabin furniture, or decorative pieces in ski lodges and mountain homes. For many buyers, the appeal represents years of personal memories spent on the trails with friends and family. Camelback’s announcement is likely to generate strong interest among loyal guests who have ridden these lifts over the years and want to preserve a tangible connection to the resort’s past.
Wait List Now Open
Anyone hoping to purchase one of the retired lift chairs can now join Camelback Resort’s wait list to receive advance notice before sales begin. With only a limited number of chairs available from each lift, demand is expected to be high among passionate skiers and snowboarders. You can join the waitlist here.
