Great to see somebody living a dream of mine...
Same though I could probably do it... with alot of money..and time that i dont have...
pretentious and arrogant describes the person in the video very well. I will say though... he did what he wanted.
Same
No Red Bull logos? I'm confused.
LMAO
5 years later and this is still the most detailed video on how to construct one of these things. I wonder if it's still in operation? Maybe a follow up video could be in the works on things they learned and would have done different??
I was out there around the time of the video plus some years after and never remember seeing it running
@@paulyedward5563 shame, lots of moving parts do require lots of geese though. I work on a ski hill and they're always climbing towers.
Did he really just snowboard down the hill with a dog on one hand camera on the other? That's rad.
that's the pinnacle of the show it goes down hill from there
Did you really just say 'rad'?
lifeshort i think i did
henri kulmala yep you did
@@savannahcanfield7134 Yup, my Rad'O'Meter is picking up insane Rad-Waves in this area!
i like the military engine, that's a perfect engine for something like a chairlift that only runs when there is snow, but when it does run it runs for a very very long time with little supervision. those engines were designed by teledyne continental who also builds general aviation aircraft engines and they were made to operate in extreme conditions and run for months on end.
Aces. Double points for the Dog ride.
Love the sled unloading technique. This guy is my new hero.I wonder how much vertical that lift serves.
looks to be about 150 feet
For everyone asking, I’m fairly certain he picked the chairlift up from a junk yard. However there are more videos on the subject out there. Just search his name.
Interstining little fact I believe this was tailings tbar at Homewood resort
Used to watch this video when I was like 9. Great to come back so many years layer
I wish I had a private ski resort!
Too much time, too much money available? (yes, I am jealous)
Troy Verbrugge doesnt have to be expensive
Oh that land is expensive
I come here every year now, this video single handly introduced me into ski lifts and other stuff at the point where I've been trying to make one out of Legos for the past 3 years.
I have buld one taht works
this looks so easy I can't believe I haven't thought of it
That rocks Man!! Never think old, never grow old!
rodmauldin: There is only one alternative to growing old. Do you know what that is?
SO--The answer is, find God, for a peaceful life; and keep young at heart.
By the way, that soundtrack will not help.
Loved the dog ride.
Engineering and snowboarding. I love it!
Last week i had a dream about there being a massive ski slope outsidere my house with chairlifts, when im older im gonna make that dream into a reality
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen
Man, that is awesome! Nice work!
One of the coolest CZcamss I’ve ever seen
That dog is having so much fun !
That's awesome and that's so cool when somebody's dreams becomes reality!
Awesome video, awesome project, awesome dog!
So cool would ,love to see more of this hill
I love your tensioning system
Nice idea
So cute!!! The dog
FANTASTIC !!!
Came for the chair lift, stayed for Uncle Acid.
Awesome man!

That's freakin great!!
These Rock!
Good job :)
I did find that obnoxious and really wanted to hear more about the charilift itself, but it did kind of look like an awesome time so whatever 5 minutes I will nver regret.
I know this is a little late, but he would need a larger counterweight to add more chairs
I like since there are no hydraulics so he uses rocks for cable tension instead
Most lifts (at least where I am from) have tension provided by concrete slab masses on pulleys. Cheap and low maintenance.
aaahhh that's awesome, when liked minds get together, anything is possible. I see Area-241 is the place to be and totally off the grid, I've seen that house before and know it's totally off the wall off the grid. Kick ass in winter and summer too, anytime is funt time, on snowboard or MTB, WOOT!!!
this looks amazing. my plan is to do this. buy some mountainside land nobody would ever want because its too steep. then put in a clandestine ski lift.
What kind of haul rope did he use and did you splice it ? What kind of sheave trains did you use?
I wish I had this in my backyard
SIr you are one of the coolest people that exist
You should use that snowmobile to groom and make ski runs
So jelly!!!
That is DOPE
that is so damn RAD!!!!
Nice!
Sweet!
That so cool I wanna do that At my house even though there’s a big ski place across town
SUPER FUN !!!!!
holy shit man i want thad
also
That’s bad ass!!!!!
Badass... Absolutely basass.. Great job man. What was the cost for this?
swordfish00007 little at most he used scrap metal
KSL will want to acquire this as well.
I'd like to have a chairlift of my own.
I want that puppy
how on earth did u guys build a chairlift because that would be coool
I wanna do this some day some day I wanna own and run a lift
nice song choice
how did you do that
Bro. Cool
can i come out there and try it?
hahahaha
Wow, decent music for a change.
how strong is the motor
Man I thought the lift was cool, then 3:57 came along! :D \m/
What kind of motor did you use
Is it still there
anyone know who the music is?
Life Goals
All said and done how much did it cost?
+K2Captain ???
+Outside Television how much did it cost
they dont know but im guessing 10kmin
Foster Benjamin idk it’s mostly scrap, but the most expansive part believe it or not is the wire, that could cost 5 k but other wise total I’d say 8k-15k
Hoy much did it cost?
"Uncle Acid and the deadbeats - Blood lust" you are welcome Outside TV!
I want that husky
Aside from the "music" and the art, this was great. It would be nice to have a straightforward tour. What size cable? How many chairs are planned? A bit more about the engine, etc.
This reminds me of the old Blue Ridge ski area in the San Gabriel mountains of southern California. All the hardware was undersized like this. Now Blue Ridge has been rebuilt & modernized. And I think thet have snowmaking like their 2 neighboring ski areas. Big changes!
Are you going to remove that log that points at the lift rider?
You’re really expecting/asking a lot for someone’s private chair lift lol… don’t like the music simple. Mute the video lol
Many a joint were smoked that night
how burried is it this march 2019?
How covered is the lift in 2023?😂 by snow
That was cool. Do you build chair lifts for others on their properties as well?
They're pro snowboarders
@@paulyedward5563 I've always wanted to have a chairlift built in my backyard
To take it into any sort of commercial application (selling them would be) would take tens of thousands of dollars in engineered drawings and permits, I can say this with confidence after looking through those drawings for the 4 lifts I work in for my home mountain
@@deathsicon that takes total dedication 👏
@@khatske I suspect that he bought some used lift parts (there's whole websites dedicated to this) then skipped all the drawings and permits since its private, I'm just hoping these guys at least do regular inspections and maintenance
would be a great trip.. just riding the chairlift wink wink
Did you use some components form a lift that was broken down at another place?
It's built from an old t-bar.
PUPPYYYYYYY
So forward thinking you are! COVID insurance plan.
So this is what Jagr is up to now!
I FEEL LIKE THIS IS AN ABANDONED MOUNTAIN'S LIFT, AND HIS ENGINE AND CHAIR.
Mike your the fucking man
Uncle acid!!
Flow bindings still suck tho
Only one chair tho
how cool is that ? Today's daily routine: get up..grin and laugh ... ride the lift ... grin and laugh ..... midday..g & l ... afternoon ... g & l .... last ride .... g & l .... lift night ride ... g & l ... go to sleep ...... quietly g & l..... best life !!
Omfg!!!
dudeeeeee that cement truck on that bridge was gnarlyyy. thats the kind of shit you see in India,,haha right on dudes you pulled it off
How much is a seasons pass? Haha
5+
💯 k Subs coming
So close!!!
@@OutsideWatch 👍
Omg omg Only 8!!
you could duplicate this for really cheap if you have iron working skills and some scrap metal, basic machinery and and electric motor. ill do it this summer with a 3k$ budet to build a half scale model of this and post it on my channel
Let’s see it
Hey just curious if you have made any progress with the ski lift?
I’m curious too
Of course this is mike basichs. Have u seen his fucking little stone house
bruh
👈👈👈👈
Music is a tad overdone….
you have too much money and time
If anyone other than you is using this it is highly illegal
Cool, I didn't ask
Labor Code § 7340 et seq. but it's much less of a problem if it's not a commercial operation open to the public and there aren't any employees involved.
Max and David must be on the downhill ski team.....😂
The music is so insufferable. Oh...but it's hip?...Ok it's cool then.
Craftronics
Dude nobody says hip
Hip, but nobody says dude!
Mile High Fingerboards
What world do you live in where nobody says dude and people say hip
Worst......music......ever.
Its great?
