Turn back the calendar to when rope tow tickets had already gone up to $2 a day and chairlift tickets were $4 a day (but there were only two chairlifts in Colorado, and they were at Aspen). There were two in California, one was at the Sugar Bowl on Donner Summit and the other one on Mount Waterman in Southern California. All told, there were only 15 chairlifts in America.
