Wasatch Ski Chairs
Snowbird Gad 2 Lift Chair
Snowbird Gad 2 Lift Chair
Celebrate 50 Years of Snowbird by Owning a Piece of History
These original Gad 2 chairs were built and installed in the Gad Valley in 1971 and powered Snowbird until 2013, when the new high-speed quad was installed. That means they hold 42 years of memories—from freezing cold butts to stories left unfinished by the end of the lift and eagerly restarted at the bottom.
There are only 70 chairs like this left in the world, and we’ve preserved their original high-quality construction so your family can enjoy them for generations to come.
Our optional hanger tubes are replicas for reduced weight and dimensions.

Customer Reviews
I got a Gad 2 chair and it was beautifully restored. Now I just wish I could find an Albion chair….
Growing up and traveling to Utah once a year for our family ski trip I was surprised to find a ski chair available from Snowbird. It’s a beautiful piece and looks even better in person.
Wasatch, ski chairs is the best but I wish they sent me a sticker and asked me to post the chair at my house on Instagram!
