Lift Up Our Community

Chairlift Auction

Benefits go to New England Disabled Sports

Celebrate the legacy of Bretton Woods and our community with an opportunity to blend history and philanthropy. As part of our annual Lift Up Our Community initiative, inaugurated for our 50th Anniversary during the 2023-2024 ski season, we continue the celebration with an auction for a retired Fabyan’s Express Triple Chair. Bidding is open through our Beach Party at the end of March 2026 when the winner will be announced. Proceeds from the auction benefit New England Disabled Sports (NEDS). The money raised goes directly toward adaptive equipment, trained volunteers, and the experiences within a program that give people purpose, joy, and a place in snow sports on mountains around the world.

  • Fabyan’s Express Chair Details
    Fabyan’s Triple Chair is a Doppelmayr fixed grip 3 person triple chair installed in 1983. The lift provided mid-mountain access to the saddle below Mt Rosebrook, now the location of the Rosebrook Lodge. With the installation of the Gondola, the fixed grip lift became redundant and the decision was made to retire it. The chair is constructed of hot dip galvanized steel to prevent weathering.

    Weight: 225 lbs
    Height: 107”
    Width: 61”
    Depth: 30”
