You are bidding on a Chair lift located at Split Rock Resort in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. The lift consists of 67 double chairs, six towers and is 1100 ft. long. The drive motor was totally rebuilt in February of 2003. Since there are numerous technical questions concerning this lift, please direct them to Dave Mc Donald

hahaha! You really can buy everything on E-Bay.

err what brand is that lift?

[orangegondola]

A nice classic Borvig! Have Partek string up the other side and you've got a nice double double. Mabey I can fit it in the living room of my apartment.

[Bill]

If I had the cash and the room, I would buy it and re-assemble it on my property for fun. :)

Well this new resort in Wyoming needs a chairlift but how crazy would the shipping be across country like that. The other thing is it isn't long enough. We are looking for a 1000 vert feet and 4000 feet long chair for the new resort

Would be fun to have however and I'm looking into it.

Looks like the shipping is free with that lift, but for only $10,000 you could add that lift as a nice beginner lift for that price. But yea, I still think your better off picking up one of the lifts that Kirkwood and Mammoth are removing this summer Erik.

[iceberg210]

Not this summer Cameron but next sure. I still gotta get my buisness plan done and sucure finacing as well as a NEPA study.

Those towers seem annoying since it used to be a double double, but what do i know.

[iceberg210]

Does anyone know the vital statistics on this lift and also how hard would it be to find parts for this type of lift.

[SkiBachelor]

You would get your replacement parts from Partek, but I don't know where you would get the extra carriers and towers.

[Bill]

Read it closely, it says buyer is responsible for removal and shipping of the lift, so you do have shipping costs and removal fees.

[KoUiToU]

that is incredible! :o

[ODDfreakPERSON]

I WANT IT!

why does it seem common to have 1 half of a double double?

i know theres one at sugerloaf ME and sunday river ME

[ISMrider]

Sunday River??? Where??

[ODDfreakPERSON]

Would a half of a double double be worth more than a plain double?

[SkiBachelor]

I would guess just a little bit more sicne you have that set of tower heads on the other side that arn't being used and maybe a better tower foundation? But other than that, it would probably be the same.

[Bill]

So did anyone figure out what lift and at what resort this lift is at? Going to the site it links to two different ski areas.
