The "Green Chair” was installed on the Easy Street beginner hill in 1967. It was built by a company from Denver Colorado called Miner-Denver. It was a small company that installed chairlifts from 1967 to 1970. Although short-lived, Miner-Denver installed 17 lifts mainly in the Mid-West and West US. The "Green Chair” was eventually replaced by a Poma chair.
