I need to make a stand just like yours! 
I refurbished this chair a few years ago but have yet to hang it. I am told by the seller that is was from Aspen (although when I talked to him a 2nd time he said it was from Breck).
I made my seat from oak -- I saw an old chair on display in Aspen and took some photos and recreated it the best I could. Your colorful seat looks great!
Don't know when I will refurbish the Borvig quad I also have -- that thing weighs a ton!

I am now considering making some adirondak (sp) chairs out of a bunch of old straight skis that I have salvaged over the years. My neighbors are going to think that I've totally lost my mind once those go out in the yard!
My neighbors already think that since I make snow in my yard. At least they can't say we are boring!

To ski or not to ski is not the question.

I make it in the front yard since that is on the north side of the house (more shade). Note the green yards across the street.

I love making snow! I have one 11 year old son, but I would make it even without a child. Actually home snowmaking is getting somewhat common. You just need temps below 28 degrees. I bought mine on the internet.

I bought mine at Sears for about $500. I believe they need to be the kind that take oil (I suppose since it runs non-stop). You also need a pressure washer.
The process is a bit noisy. I was excited when I first bought my snow maker, but the temps were a bit mild. One night at about 2:00 am the temps dropped enough so I went outside and cranked it all up. Just when it started to spit out snow my wife woke up and told me to shut it off before I woke all the neighbors! So now I wait until about 7:30am to make snow.
