You are correct, sorry about that. The guy I was talking to said "chair" but those are T bar parts. I just signed up as a volunteer to help get them scraped and painted.

Sally visits are mandatory for all Vermont-bound PASRS; there is beer and good-story quota that must be met for each trip. Requirement parameters TBD. 😄

Sorry to quote my own post, but I just had a great conversation with a local bartender who used to be a lifty on the T-bar at Mt. Ascutney in 1968 (!). He was full of great stories, but the upshot is that these chairs are actually being installed, not taken down! Apparently they were donated to the nonprofit that runs the volunteer skiing operation in the winter. It won't go all the way to the top, but will access a nice variety of trails, I'm told. Currently Ascutney is the second smallest ski area in New England, so it'll be fun to see wha the chairlift does to the rankings.

Went for a bike ride this evening and discovered an entire disassembled chairlift at Mt. Ascutney.

1. A solid option. Living in VT, you never know when you might have to drive on a dirt road. I've always recovered when I've gone down in fuel economy in a vehicle. My current car gets 15mpg less than my last, but I wouldn't trade back. A real low gear might be very useful. 2. Older Rav4's AWD systems only worked at slow speeds. Not that you want to be flying in the snow. I'm sure they are more sophisticated now. Look for a 6 cylinder model. The 4 is way under-powered. 3. Great AWD system. I only wish they had a nicer fit and finish on the inside. 4. Volvo's new XC40 🤩
