The Campaign for the Single Chair |
The Mad River Glen Co-op began a fundraising campaign long before the historic rehabilitation of the Single Chair ever began this past summer. In fact it all began when the Co-op developed a unique partnership with two non-profit groups, the Stark Mountain Foundation and Preservation Trust of Vermont. Due to the hard work of many volunteers along with the spirit and energy of the Mad River Glen community the Single Chair Capital Campaign has already raised nearly $1.2 million towards the ultimate goal of $1.54 million.

The bumper sticker has become a badge of honor for skiers. In fact, a recent survey by the National Ski Areas Association revealed that the sticker was among the most recognizable icons in the ski industry. The survey further discovered that people who had never even been to the state of Vermont had seen the sticker and remembered its slogan! More |
