Single chair lifts have become increasingly rare in North America, which makes them exceptionally difficult to find for sale in the antique market. The first single chair lift was installed at Sun Valley Resort in Ketchum, Idaho in 1936, designed by James Curran, a railroad engineer from Nebraska. These early mechanical devices played a revolutionary role in the development of alpine skiing as a popular sport. As a result, those that do appear are often prized for their historical and technological importance, making them valuable pieces for collectors and enthusiasts of early ski resort history.
