If you want a piece of Aspen ski history, now could be the perfect time.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

To make way for its new Nell Bell chairlift, Aspen Mountain, Colorado<\/a>, has taken down its historic Bell Mountain and Little Nell chairlifts. <\/strong>The two lifts served the resort\u2019s skiers and snowboarders for nearly 120 combined years. While it is disappointing to see them go, it could be an opportunity for ski history buffs to get their hands on a rare item.<\/p>\n

Aspen Mountain has sent chairs from Little Nell and Bell Mountain to auction, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the public to take home a piece of Aspen ski history.<\/strong> There are 15 Little Nell chairs and 100 Bell Mountain chairs available, with the auction running online from July 4 through July 19. Bidding started at $25o for The Little Nell chairs and $500 for Bell Mountain chairs. Every dollar raised goes towards voter registration, get-out-the-vote efforts, the protection of voting rights, and climate action.<\/p>\n

So far, the auction has raised nearly $15,000<\/a> through public bidding for the chairs.\u00a0<\/strong>Bids can be placed on the auction\u2019s web page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
