Is this the famous Mad River Glenn lift that still provides a blanket on a slow ride to the top?

This is indeed the "iconic" single chair of Mad River Glen.
A few years ago the lift needed extensive work.
A replacement double would have been cheaper, but the MRG coop owners instead paid add'l $ to keep it a single!

The blanket though was provided only for the Stowe single.
I'm old enough to have ridden that as a kid.
But it has long since been replaced by a high-speed quad (which was even replaced again recently with a newer model).

Your comments bring back memories of skiing in the East. I left 40 years ago. I lived in Syracuse and spent weekends at the Onondaga Ski Lodge in Lower Granville,VT on route 100. Nice access to various ski areas.
