The Campaign for the Mad River Glen Single Chair
Supported by The Preservation Trust of Vermont and the Stark Mountain Foundation.
“I love Vermont because of her hills and valleys, her scenery and invigorating climate, but most of all, because of her indomitable people.” Calvin Coolidge
 “Mad River’s vintage technology is not the nation’s first ski-hill aid, but the single chair lift remains the last working link to a time when American downhill skiing was all sport and not money.” Preservation Magazine Nowhere in Vermont can the mountains, invigorating climate and indomitable people be found in greater evidence than at Mad River Glen. This ski area, created in the earliest days of Vermont skiing, still attracts the energy and excitement that signals true lovers of the sport and the state. And its icon is the Single Chair... nationally, the only remaining single chair lift that is still in its original location and still taking skiers to a mountaintop for a snowy launch. Today, the Single needs work. It is tired and worn but no one wants to give it up. So the Mad River Glen Cooperative has partnered with the Preservation Trust of Vermont and the Stark Mountain Foundation to make sure the Single is preserved and used for decades to come. We are hoping hundreds who love Vermont, its history, its mountains and its skiing will join together to preserve the Single. Last modified February 09 2007 10:35 AM |
