Chair Lift

Chair Lift Review

No subtropical skiing paradise would be complete without a chairlift, and this one is an attractive alternative to trekking to the top of Mt. Gushmore over and over again. Instead, sit back and relax as the summit of the mountain approaches. The two-minute ascent also is a great opportunity to scout out other slides, to do some people-watching, and to enjoy the "ski beach" scenery. Children must be at least 48 inches tall to ride alone or 32 inches tall to ride with an adult. For people with disabilities: Guests using wheelchairs can wheel up to the top but then must transfer to the rides. A companion will have to meet you with the wheelchair at the base of Mt. Gushmore. If you want a shorter wait and don't mind being paired with a stranger, head for the single-riders line. If the wait is too long in either line, why not just hike up?
