The Birth of the Chairlift and It's Tie to the Midwest
Рет қаралды 3,588
3 жыл бұрынToday we are taking a look at chairlifts, specifically the first chair lift ever constructed. The story behind this breakthrough is very interesting, but I found its connection to the Midwest even more interesting.
That said, be sure to check out the Hemlock Chair at Boyne Mountain Resort next time you are there to see this amazing piece of history.

Thanks Kevin! This was a sample hat, but I just placed an order so we will have some up for sale shortly. I will say, I have a few more samples that I will be giving away in the next couple weeks.

Boyne Mountain has actually done a lot for ski lift innovation. they opened the worlds first triple and quad lifts, first 6 pack in the U.S., and coming next year the first 8 seat in the Midwest.

Hey Boyne is one of our main mountains we ride! That’s super dope and will be something I will now think about every time I rode that lift!

Great video but you left out what happened to the other half of that same lift from SV... It was sent to Gatlinburg TN and assembled at a hotel to give visitors a chance to ride the chair up and back down to catch a glimpse of the town from above. Although the hotel commissioned Everett Kircher to build the lift they didn't want to run the lift so they allowed him to collect all fees paid to ride it. This helped Kircher raise the funds needed to build out Boyne Mtn. It's also worth noting the landowner of what is now Boyne Mtn sold the hilly landscape to Kircher for $1!

Hey London, thanks for watching. Start by watching this video if you haven’t already: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b6qDpKmV28zLl2g.html It’s impossible to know exactly when they will open as it all depends on weather. They need at least a couple of days ideally below 28 degrees. Not a lot of news as of now- but there is a cold front moving through this weekend that may give us some snowmaking weather. I’ll update everyone with as much info as I can so be sure to like our Facebook and Instagram pages as well. Cheers 🍻
