THE Mount Perisher double chairlift which was decommissioned this past summer will have 70 of its original iconic chairs auctioned off on the 2024 June long weekend.

Installed in 1961 and Perisher’s first ever chairlift, the two-seater fixed grip chairlift has been a faithful means of transport, and a favourite ride for millions of skiers and snowboarders during the decades.

Since its removal there has been huge interest from people reminiscing about their association with the chairlift, and now wishing to acquire chairs for their own nostalgic purpose.

Perisher Ski Resort will offer guests the opportunity to own a slice of ski history at a special June long weekend farewell auction for the historic chairs.

Seventy of the original chairs will be sold in two separate auctions with all proceeds going to charities. Guests are encouraged to register in advance for a chance to secure their own chair.
