Building a Private Chairlift

[@pedromemosa3108]

Great to see somebody living a dream of mine...

[@xxxtechnowolfxxx143]

Same though I could probably do it... with alot of money..and time that i dont have...

[@billyfraiser6298]

pretentious and arrogant describes the person in the video very well. I will say though... he did what he wanted.

[@jackhoyt1104]

Same

[@marzsit9833]

i like the military engine, that's a perfect engine for something like a chairlift that only runs when there is snow, but when it does run it runs for a very very long time with little supervision. those engines were designed by teledyne continental who also builds general aviation aircraft engines and they were made to operate in extreme conditions and run for months on end.

[@alec4672]

5 years later and this is still the most detailed video on how to construct one of these things. I wonder if it's still in operation? Maybe a follow up video could be in the works on things they learned and would have done different??

[@paulyedward5563]

I was out there around the time of the video plus some years after and never remember seeing it running

[@alec4672]

@@paulyedward5563 shame, lots of moving parts do require lots of geese though. I work on a ski hill and they're always climbing towers.

[@ragomtb]

Used to watch this video when I was like 9. Great to come back so many years layer

[@hardlyok]

Did he really just snowboard down the hill with a dog on one hand camera on the other? That's rad.

[@VenezuelaNow]

that's the pinnacle of the show it goes down hill from there

[@lifeshort]

Did you really just say 'rad'?

I come here every year now, this video single handly introduced me into ski lifts and other stuff at the point where I've been trying to make one out of Legos for the past 3 years.

[@NST-tec]

I have buld one taht works

[@danielmazur1050]

For everyone asking, I’m fairly certain he picked the chairlift up from a junk yard. However there are more videos on the subject out there. Just search his name.

[@carsonhoward2884]

Interstining little fact I believe this was tailings tbar at Homewood resort

[@dredbud9272]

Love the sled unloading technique. This guy is my new hero.I wonder how much vertical that lift serves.

[@deepsouthmtb2531]

looks to be about 150 feet

[@rodmauldin]

That rocks Man!! Never think old, never grow old!

this looks so easy I can't believe I haven't thought of it

That's awesome and that's so cool when somebody's dreams becomes reality!

[@pengujedi4559]

I love your tensioning system

[@jemhelprt5365]

Last week i had a dream about there being a massive ski slope outsidere my house with chairlifts, when im older im gonna make that dream into a reality

[@seanmorissette5765]

So cool would ,love to see more of this hill

[@JacobTyo]

Came for the chair lift, stayed for Uncle Acid.

[@mattmozey113]

So cute!!! The dog

[@theyetilife]

aaahhh that's awesome, when liked minds get together, anything is possible. I see Area-241 is the place to be and totally off the grid, I've seen that house before and know it's totally off the wall off the grid. Kick ass in winter and summer too, anytime is funt time, on snowboard or MTB, WOOT!!!

[@vonrollskyway1]

What kind of haul rope did he use and did you splice it ? What kind of sheave trains did you use?

[@bbsara0146]

this looks amazing. my plan is to do this. buy some mountainside land nobody would ever want because its too steep. then put in a clandestine ski lift.

[@Crazy_Alex_7667]

That so cool I wanna do that At my house even though there’s a big ski place across town

[@icy_storm6669]

You should use that snowmobile to groom and make ski runs

[@arminderlandwirt9255]

Good job :)

[@swordfish00007]

Badass... Absolutely basass.. Great job man. What was the cost for this?

[@vasthockey4382]

swordfish00007 little at most he used scrap metal

[@jacklucking691]

SUPER FUN !!!!!

[@mwatershoes]

I did find that obnoxious and really wanted to hear more about the charilift itself, but it did kind of look like an awesome time so whatever 5 minutes I will nver regret.

[@andrewweber8822]

I know this is a little late, but he would need a larger counterweight to add more chairs

[@Retikulum01]

Is it still there

[@mapf7097]

Did you use some components form a lift that was broken down at another place?

[@ryan_niemi]

It's built from an old t-bar.

[@K2Captain]

All said and done how much did it cost?

[@OutsideWatch]

+K2Captain ???

[@SuperFoster31]

+Outside Television how much did it cost

[@s_s_d_d_33]

they dont know but im guessing 10kmin

[@axeledwards4162]

Foster Benjamin idk it’s mostly scrap, but the most expansive part believe it or not is the wire, that could cost 5 k but other wise total I’d say 8k-15k

[@supremevash7108]

I like since there are no hydraulics so he uses rocks for cable tension instead

[@mandarin1257]

Most lifts (at least where I am from) have tension provided by concrete slab masses on pulleys. Cheap and low maintenance.

[@rogersgarage753]

FANTASTIC !!!

[@bety8011]

I wish I had this in my backyard

[@mathesmitth3895]

Nice idea

[@thejaxman1716]

What kind of motor did you use

[@louisthunder10]

how on earth did u guys build a chairlift because that would be coool

I'd like to have a chairlift of my own.

I wanna do this some day some day I wanna own and run a lift

[@johnsumner6185]

"Uncle Acid and the deadbeats - Blood lust" you are welcome Outside TV!

[@RobbisTV]

Man I thought the lift was cool, then 3:57 came along! :D \m/

[@michaeldougfir9807]

Aside from the "music" and the art, this was great. It would be nice to have a straightforward tour. What size cable? How many chairs are planned? A bit more about the engine, etc. This reminds me of the old Blue Ridge ski area in the San Gabriel mountains of southern California. All the hardware was undersized like this. Now Blue Ridge has been rebuilt & modernized. And I think thet have snowmaking like their 2 neighboring ski areas. Big changes! Are you going to remove that log that points at the lift rider?

[@s3hunna]

You’re really expecting/asking a lot for someone’s private chair lift lol… don’t like the music simple. Mute the video lol

[@chaseme81871]

anyone know who the music is?

[@jackgoodall3047]

how strong is the motor

[@overtimenfl]

How covered is the lift in 2023?😂 by snow

[@khatske]

That was cool. Do you build chair lifts for others on their properties as well?

[@paulyedward5563]

They're pro snowboarders

[@khatske]

@@paulyedward5563 I've always wanted to have a chairlift built in my backyard

[@deathsicon]

To take it into any sort of commercial application (selling them would be) would take tens of thousands of dollars in engineered drawings and permits, I can say this with confidence after looking through those drawings for the 4 lifts I work in for my home mountain

[@khatske]

@@deathsicon that takes total dedication 👏

[@deathsicon]

@@khatske I suspect that he bought some used lift parts (there's whole websites dedicated to this) then skipped all the drawings and permits since its private, I'm just hoping these guys at least do regular inspections and maintenance
