Own a piece of Sugarloaf history !!!!
Think about what it would be like being a Sunday River skier winning this !!! All for a good cause. If you haven't been to the Maine Ski Museum, it a very nice take.
Dear passholder,
When the 2010-2011 season comes to a close, we will say our final farewell to the Spillway chairlifts and get ready to take the next step towards Sugarloaf’s future with the installation of a new quad. This Sunday, April 24, at the annual Season Passholders’ BBQ, you’ll have a chance to be a part (and own a piece) of Sugarloaf history, when we auction off the final ride on Spillway to help out our friends at the Ski Museum of Maine.
The winning bidder will have the honor of riding the final Spillway chair before we close it down for good (closing date TBD) and begin work on the new quad. The winner will also get to keep the chair and own a small piece of Sugarloaf history.
All of the proceeds from the Spillway auction will go to the Ski Museum of Maine, located in downtown Kingfield.
So join us this Sunday for a free BBQ lunch at the Passholders’ BBQ, and stay for the auction at 1pm. We’ll see you there!
Sincerely,
Your friends at Sugarloaf

WOW, they suggested this on the Sugarloaf chat page and now it has come to fruition. Very good, and a great cause to boot. Wish I was a Loafer pass holder and could put out a bid for it. Be fun just to be a part of it.

How about the rest of the chairs? Some enterprising welder could make up frames, hang them up and sell them as porch furniture. Wouldn't you like to have a swinging chair with a safety bar at your place?

there's no prerequisite (sp?) to be able to bid, Doc.

I assume all New England Passholders are eligible. I know a few SR folks that got notification about it.

My bet is the mountain will either sell them or donate them for various charitable events in the area, or both. It would be kind of cool to have one at your ski house.

Was it installed in 69' or 71'? I wasn't aware that it was the oldest operating chair. While it was moved from another mountain, the double (Also a Hall) at the Camden Snowbowl may be from the 60's and installed at CSB in 75'.

Lost Valley was opened for the 1961-62 season as a rope tow served ski area. A T-Bar was added for the 1962-63 season.
Auburn native and nordic skiing Olympian John Bower took over as manager of the ski area for the 1965-66 season, as a double chairlift was added.

Nice. I love ski area history. I was there a couple years ago and noticed the plaque on the longer double and knew it was installed after, but couldn't see the date on the colored double's plaque. I didn't realize that was the original. I remember being afraid to ski Bullmoose when I was a kid because the people above.

That trail made Upper Chondi Line seem like the bunny slope.
I also remember there being some kind of urban legend (Because the trail was kind of a big deal) that someone went too fast, lost control, skid over the snowbank after the runout, landed and in the parking lot and died. That $hit gave me some nightmares!
