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.
