Daring Heights at Snow King
In the 1960s, two daring women rode Snow King’s ski lift in Jackson, Wyoming, dressed in summery attire, with distant snow-capped peaks as their backdrop. Their motive? Not skiing, but a unique photo opportunity. This unusual choice showcased the ski lift’s versatility beyond skiing.
Ski lifts have a captivating history. In 1908, the first ski lift, a basic rope and pulley system, was invented in Germany. Fast forward to 1936, Sun Valley, Idaho, unveiled the first detachable chairlift, revolutionizing mountain access. Today, ski lifts offer not only transportation but also breathtaking vistas, making them integral to winter resorts and a must-experience part of the mountain lifestyle.
