……and a project for the shoulder season – but for relatively cheap. (Fix up both, sell one and you have a free chair for yourself.) If you have welding skills and equipment this would be a piece of cake. Heat up the chair tubing and seat straps, do some straitening and a little spot welding and you have a nice ski lift chair. (Or maybe just replace the tubing with something from a metal supply shop that you bend to shape?) Oh yea…. A little wood work for new seat ‘slats’ and a coat of spray paint and done. Main portion of the chair is in original condition. The seat portion was intentionally ‘destroyed’ to prevent chair from being used. Both are from Iron Mountain west of Kirkwood. Photos show current condition of both chairs plus a couple photos of identical chairs still on last remaining intact lift (in 2015). This was one of those projects that I never got around to since I lack welding skills, equipment and the time. Also includes a 3rd chair assembly (for parts?) and an interesting ‘tensioning roller?’ that might be used in mounting a finished chair. While I’d like to sell both for $200 I’d sell them separately for $125 each. I'm also open to offers. They’re heavy, no other option than picking them up in Minden, NV with a pickup or a trailer. (Though we might negotiate using my truck for local delivery). PM me with any questions.

. Only makes sense for someone with welding skills and equipment but hey - there must be a few you within driving distance of the Tahoe area. Spend a few bucks and some time under the welding hood to restore them and you can easily resell them for $550 (with no tax or lottery). Or more likely, if you google the price of restored chairs, you'll notice another thousand per chair (on top of the $550) isn't out of range.
