Key Milestones in Lift 1 History
- Origins & Construction (1946–1947): Built by the Aspen Skiing Corporation—founded by 10th Mountain Division veteran Friedl Pfeifer and industrialist Walter Paepcke—Lift 1 replaced the older “Boat Tow”. It was built in two segments (Lift 1 and Lift 2) reaching from the base up toward the upper mountain. At roughly one mile long, it held the title of the world’s longest chairlift. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
- Grand Opening (January 11, 1947): Colorado Governor-elect Lee Knous officially dedicated the lift with a champagne toast in front of a massive crowd. Klaus Obermeyer notably invented the down jacket from a down comforter to help skiers stay warm on the half-hour ride. [1, 2, 3]
- Historic World Championships (1950): Lift 1 ferried competitors for the 1950 FIS World Alpine Ski Championships—the first time the event was held outside of Europe. [1]
- Replacement with Lift 1A (1971–1972): The original Lift 1 retired and was replaced by a double-chair known as Lift 1A (or the Shadow Mountain lift), which ran from the bottom of Aspen Street up to the base of Ruthie’s lift. [1, 2]
- Historic Designation (1990): The original alignment and infrastructure of Ski Lift No. 1 were recognized on the National Register of Historic Places, making it one of only two ski lifts in the United States to earn the distinction. [1]
- Retirement and Redevelopment (2026): Lift 1A permanently closed and removal began in the summer/fall of 2026. It is being cleared as part of a massive western-Ajax redevelopment project—including luxury lodging like the Aman hotel, a ski history museum, and a planned modern replacement lift slated for future operation
