Own a Piece of Ski History with Yan Chairlifts
The Yan ski lift has a story that stretches back to the golden age of skiing in North America. Manufactured by the renowned Yan Lift Inc., a company founded by Janek "Jan" Kunczynski in the 1960s, Yan ski lifts quickly became one of the most well-known lift manufacturers in North America thanks to their straightforward design. Now, we’ve given these timeless pieces a new life, restoring them to create a unique and unforgettable centerpiece for any space.
