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.
