BRIGHTON, Utah — If you've been to Brighton Resort, you've likely been on the Crest ski lift and as the lift is getting a much-needed replacement, the chairs could be the next conversation piece in your home.
"It worked great for us, but, you know, at the same time that was an old lift that took a lot of maintenance and a lot of tender loving care to keep it going," he explained."The need for capacity caused us to push forward and upgrade." "The chairs are sought after and it's kind of the one piece of memorabilia that people are always after," Winkler remarked."Like, how cool is it to have [one in] your ski lodge or your ski-themed home or whatever it be."
"Anything under $1,000 will probably not get a chair because already, our lowest qualifying bid is at like $999," Winkler explained."So if somebody's looking to win a chair, they probably need to bid over $1,000...they're very sought after. Much more than we thought." Winkler said he understands ski resorts get coined as"money grabbers," but he thinks this gesture shows they want to be part of the community.
The Crest 6 has a five-minute ride time instead of eight and will overall be much more efficient for Brighton, allowing more people to have fun in the snow."The new lift will have a conveyor belt that will help people get on the lift," Winkler explained."So when they ski up, they actually get onto a conveyor belt and it starts rolling and then the chair will show up behind you and pick you up and with that conveyor belt for like kids.
