Gil was speechless when Jed and Tucker took him outside to show Opa his birthday present. It was raining hard so we didn't get a good photo that night, but YUP it's a genuine chair from the original #1 chairlift from Bogus Basin. When Bogus replaced it with a quad they used some of it for the beginner lift "coach" and sold the surplus. Jed was able to get a hold of this one and make a new seat and figure out a way to hang it. From a tree or from supports - That's the project for this spring. It just makes us smile to see it and we are thrilled to have it. It's a treasure. Gil skied the whole history of this chair lift and never in a million years imagined that he would have a piece of it. THANK YOU JED, JESSI, KURT, KIM, KRISTEN and all of your families.
