Cool to watch the video about Park City's 50 years anniversary. Old gondola color cars (so beautiful) and old chairlifts. Cool!

Steamboat did that last year on all the lifts. Took me awhile to put 2 and 2 together but once I did, I thought it was a neat idea.

Skiing since 1977, snowboarding since 1989

You have pictures of it as applied at Steamboat? Vail also did it to one cabin on Gondola One and that can be seen in this video I made: https://www.youtube....h?v=r6RKsoyCIss

I was up there on Friday, but I didn't notice any gold chairs. I could of missed it but I'm pretty sure I would have noticed. Payday, Bonanza, and First Time were open. I didn't see any gold painted chairs on any of them.

Haven't tasted it yet, looking forward to trying one. The Alta 75th anniversary ale was brewed by Wasatch as well and it was pretty good too.

Mount Snow did that about 10 years ago. It was such a hit that they still keep them gold and even got 1 "golden" bubble for #50 on the Bluebird Express.
