We are excited to announce the upcoming 50^th Anniversary of the Bretton Woods Ski Area and invite you to be part of the celebration for a good cause! When you’re ready to check out all the great organizations participating, please click the “AUCTION” tab at the very top of this page.

Lift Up Our Community is an online auction of 50 chairs from our original “B-Lift.” To celebrate 50 incredible years rooted in the community and northeast ski history, the auction will benefit 50 organizations throughout the community. The auction continues throughout the season and closes on March 4, 2024. Net proceeds will be presented to all 50 beneficiaries at a special reception before the end of the ski season, so stay tuned! Pickup of the chairs will take place in May or June after the snow is gone and the mud is dry. Winners will receive an email following the close of the auction to detail pickup information.

Details

The two-person fixed-grip chairlift was originally manufactured by Heron Poma in 1973 and installed that same year at the Bretton Woods Ski Area. For nearly 45 years, the B-Lift gave skiers and eventually snowboarders access to trails partway up the summit, most notably as a streamline to the race course and terrain park features. Originally yellow with a green flip-up seat, it's tallest tower reached 51 feet as the 125 HP electric motor churned out smile after smile. In 2018, the beloved lift was retired to make way for the Bretton Woods Skyway Gondola.
