Six of the Longest Chairlifts in North America are in Colorado

It's no secret that one of the biggest, if not the absolute biggest, thing the state of Colorado is known for is its world-class skiing. Ski resorts such as Vail, Aspen, and Telluride attract skiers and snowboarders from every walk of life each winter.

Perhaps the most expensive thing that these skiers and snowboarders spend money on during one of these trips is the ever-essential lift ticket. A lift ticket can come in the form of a single-day pass or various multiple-day passes and can get you on any of the operating chairlifts on the mountain.
