The installation features two retired chairlift seats donated by SilverStar Mountain Resort. “This installation reflects the deep roots that skiing and mountain culture have in the North Okanagan,” said Ian Jenkins, director of Sales, marketing and events at SilverStar Mountain Resort. The yellow chair was installed in 1972 and remained in service until 2004-05. The chairlift and tower is just part one of the project, which was designed and constructed by Nancy Wilde of Wilde Designs.
