A Colorado ski area that is replacing two of it elderly chairlifts with a new high speed chairlift has quickly sold off all the old two and three seater chairs from the former lifts after posting a ‘charity-fundraiser style video online.
All the chairs have been adopted! Thank you to everyone who will be giving one a great home! Our chairs really felt the love and were overjoyed to hear that they all have found a special place in someone's heart! <3……………………………………………….We would like to take this opportunity to tell you about a problem that hundreds of chairlift chairs are facing today on the Front Range. Please take a minute out of your day to watch, and if you can adopt one of our chairs.

Eldora Mountain Resort’s video saw a beseeching Kristin from “This Week in Eldora” make a plea to viewers that they offer good homes for the old chairlift chairs, “that desperately need love.”
“It’s only going to cost you a couple hundred pennies a day, and it’s going to be worth it to welcome one of these into your family,” said Kristin in the video, adding,
“We have hundreds of chairs that [will] lose their jobs, and they need a home. We don’t want them staying in the dirt all summer long.”
The chairs, costing up to $350 each, quickly sold out.
