It is a nice chair for its age. The padding is in good shape and every chair has a footrest. Several years ago, the chair lift was damaged due to high winds knocking down the lift line. There are very large Ponderosa pine tree that are located too close to the haul line and they tower over over it. Although shade is used to preserve the limited snow pack, cutting back many of the giant trees might have saved a lost ski season.
