In 2006, The Preservation Trust in partnership with the Mad River Glen Cooperative worked to help the community save their historic Single Chair ski lift.
Was there this past weekend for the first time. Yeah, you have to wait a bit sometimes .. but it is so worth it when you get to ski down the mountain in relative isolation and peace. Never a crowd on the slopes and that is a unique and amazing experience. What a blast!
Why is it that Midstation always gets shafted in these historical videos & books? The most unique thing about the Single Chair is that you can actually upload at mid. Sometimes, a skier is uploaded into a chair that is simultaneously being unloaded. Of course, my opinion as the midstation manager for the past 9 years is certainly biased....but there isn't another fixed-grip chairlift in this country that you can upload into partway up the mountain
