Chairlift Chats

“When you get on a chairlift with somebody, in that ten-minute chairlift ride, they might tell you something they haven't even told their own children. It's almost like a confessional.”

     - Peter Kray

If you've ever ridden a chairlift with a stranger, you've probably had a meaningful, or at least memorable, conversation with said stranger. It's almost as if being suspended 40 feet in the air at the top of a mountain presents a perfect opportunity to make conversation with the lad or lady who happens to be rocking your favorite pair of skis. Chances are, you may have learned a thing or two, too.

Consider this page as a collection of these chats: an emporium of conversations relative to the collective of Alta that may or may not have happened on a chairlift. To us it matters not if the convo took place on Collins, wildcat, or in the comfort of GMD patio, we just care about the content of the dialogue.
