Back When... summer vacation at dizzying heights

Can it really only be a mere, short, 50 years ago?!!!
If you're curious, August 10, 1961 was a Thursday so this probably wasn't a weekend up-and-back trip.

And guess what?  The Snow King Mtn Chair Lift is still in operation!  Of course, now they have "a safety bar to secure the rider" (whew!!) but I'm also gonna guess today's prices aren't whatever 1961 prices were. Check it out here. 
Hmmm, '2011 redoux'?...but...is there a weight limit or is the safety bar latch the decider?  ha ha ha.

Oh, look what I found...August 23, 2011 webcam from top of the mountain. What's the same? What's different?

  1. Scarey looking ride with no safety bar. Yikes. No leaning forward to look down on that one.
