December 28, 2007 —
‘Twas only a few short years ago when I wrote a passionate treatise on our beloved old Chair 10, wherein I espoused the heartbreaking valor of the old two-seater chair. I cried out in revolutionary vigor, beseeching the powers-that-be at Vail Resorts to leave our old bump-run beauty in place, thereby leaving us one, small, kingdom of quietude in the otherwise high-speed mess of masses which populate the rest of Vail Mountain.
Well, that was a lot of horse puckey. I rode Chair 10 on its final day last year, and I rode the new Chair 10 just recently, and I can tell you that the new chair is nothing but a VAST improvement on the old two seater which I once loved so dear.
Sure, I’ll miss the old days. But what good are the old days if you don’t miss ‘em!
The new days are here, and I couldn’t be happier. The new Chair 10 makes for a quick route all the way up to teacup bowl. It’s my new favorite way up the mountain, and since it’s as-of-yet undiscovered, it’s crowd-free and efficient.
Which means I’m into the Back Bowls, and FARTHER into the Back Bowls, FASTER.
And I’ve got no problem with that!
So goodbye old Chair 10, we loved you so. It’s just that we love the new Chair 10 a little bit more.
