Own a Piece of Loveland History: The Lift 5 Chair Lottery Is Now Open
After more than 50 years as part of the Loveland landscape, Lift 5 is being removed. Now, we’re giving our guests the opportunity to own a piece of Loveland history.
The Lift 5 Chair Lottery is officially open, giving 2026/27 Loveland Season Pass holders the chance to purchase one of just 130 authentic Lift 5 chairs.
A Piece of Loveland History
Installed in 1975, the Heron Poma double chairlift carried generations of skiers and snowboarders across Highway 6, connecting Loveland Basin and Loveland Valley until it was retired from service in 2002. While the lift hasn’t operated in more than two decades, its towers and chairs have remained an iconic part of the Loveland skyline.
As Lift 5 is removed, we’re excited to give our guests the rare opportunity to bring home an authentic piece of the mountain.
How the Lottery Works
Because demand is expected to be high, the chairs will be sold through a random lottery.
Each selected winner will have the opportunity to purchase one authentic Lift 5 double chair for $650.
The chairs are being sold as-is, complete with the wear and character earned over decades of service. Lift pads have been removed from every chair, and chair assignments will be made at random. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate requests for specific chair numbers.
Who Can Enter?
The lottery is open exclusively to paid-in-full 2026/27 Loveland Season Pass holders.
Don’t have your season pass yet? Purchase your 2026/27 Loveland Season Pass today, pay it in full, and you’ll be eligible to enter the Lift 5 Chair Lottery.
Important Dates
- Registration Opens: Now
- Registration Closes: July 22
- Winners Notified: July 23
- Purchase Deadline: July 30
- Chair Price: $650 each
Lottery Rules
- One entry per eligible season pass holder.

- Multiple season pass holders from the same household may enter, but only one winner per household will be selected.
- Lottery entries and winning opportunities are non-transferable.
- All sales are final.
Enter the Lottery
Whether Lift 5 was part of your first trip to Loveland, your daily commute between the Basin and Valley, or simply a familiar sight every time you visited the mountain, this is your opportunity to own a genuine piece of Loveland history.

SheJumps WILD SKILLS Junior Ski Patrol Day at Loveland Ski Area (VIDEO)
Loveland Ski Area recently welcomed a group of motivated young skiers and snowboarders for an unforgettable day on the mountain during the SheJumps WILD SKILLS Junior Ski Patrol program. Designed to inspire and empower the next generation of female outdoor enthusiasts, the program delivered a hands-on experience that went far beyond a typical day on the slopes.
Participants, ranging in age from approximately 8 to 14 years old, spent the day alongside female patrollers from the Loveland Ski Patrol team, gaining a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to keep a ski area safe. Guided by these experienced mentors, the group rotated through a series of interactive learning stations that introduced key skills and responsibilities of patrollers.
Throughout the day, participants explored:
- First aid and emergency response techniques
- Avalanche awareness, control, and rescue methods
- Toboggan handling and on-snow transport
- Weather monitoring and mountain safety
- Radio communication and teamwork
One of the highlights of the day was a live demonstration from Bandit, Loveland’s avalanche rescue dog. Watching Bandit in action gave participants a real-world look at how highly trained rescue dogs play a critical role in mountain safety and emergency response.
Beyond the technical skills, the experience was about building confidence, leadership, and a deeper connection to the mountain environment. With mentorship from the women of Loveland Ski Patrol, participants were encouraged to challenge themselves, ask questions, and envision their own future in the outdoor industry.
This marks the third SheJumps event hosted at Loveland Ski Area, continuing a strong partnership focused on creating opportunities for girls to grow and thrive in snowsports.
The day was capped off with classic Loveland spring conditions, fresh snow, and plenty of smiles—making it a memorable experience for everyone involved.
Loveland Ski Area is proud to support programs like SheJumps that foster inclusion, education, and a lifelong passion for the outdoors.
