As reported by Mountainwatch, Buller Ski Lifts successfully auctioned 61 chairs from the Blue Bullet chairlift on Saturday, raising AUS$100 000 in the process for the Mansfield District Hospital.
The sale of the chairs generated over AUS$70 000, with a donation raising the final figure.
The money will be used to buy a telemetry system for monitoring cardiac patients at the hospital.
The Blue Bullet chairlift has been in operation since 1984 and, by the time it retires on 7 October, will have carried an estimated 17 million passengers.
