Own a piece of Aspen Snowmass history.
In operation for 33 years, the Big Burn Quad Chair at Aspen Snowmass shuttled hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of skiers to some of the most popular terrain on the mountain.
Big Burn's namesake came from a massive fire that tore across the mountain in the 1880's. There is dispute over the origin of the fire. Some say it was lightning, but others contend it was started by ranchers trying to clear land. Another camp asserts the fire was started by Native Americans of the Ute tribe in an attempt to discourage settlers from moving in.
Anyone familiar with Aspen Snowmass certainly took at least a ride or two on the legendary Big Burn lift and this is a limited opportunity to preserve not only a piece of history but to have a permanent capsule of fond memories of days spent knee deep in Snowmass in your business or home.

Custom Colors
Tailor Your Ski Lift to Your Vision
At Ski Lift Designs, we understand that every space is unique. That's why we offer a range of color customization options to ensure your ski lift chair perfectly complements your environment.
Personalized Color Matching
Looking for custom colors outside of our staple palette? We're happy to accommodate custom color requests. Here is how to get started finding the perfect custom color to match your desired chairlift aesthetic:
-
Browse a plethora of options with either of our powder-coating color suppliers: Prismatic Powders or Cardinal Paint.
-
Find your color. Custom colors are included free of charge UNLESS the desired color requires 2 coats (+$300). Although uncommon, both vendors will make it clear when a specific color requires 2 coats in the product description.
-
Decide on a finish style. Matte offers a subtle, non-reflective look while gloss provides a bold, reflective shine. Both finishes are available through our powder coating partners at no additional cost.
-
Still worried about the final color output? Both color suppliers offer free color samples upon request to ensure the perfect match for your project.

Why Powder Coating?
The reality of vintage decommissioned ski lifts is decades of paint coat accumulation and wear, resulting in uneven surfaces, chips, and lead-based layers. Powder coating offers a way for you to celebrate your piece of ski heritage with a final product that is smooth, tough, and built to last for both indoor and outdoor use. Ultimately, powder coating is only one step of the Ski Lift Designs process; every project gets our full ski lift refurbishment process.
