Chairlifts come in all different forms (e.g. pulls, fixed chair, detachables), qualities (e.g. speed, models) and distances. Asking how much a chairlift is going to cost is like asking how much a car is going to cost.

Your ballpark range is less than a million US dollars for a basic T-bar tow package to tens of millions for your high-speed detatchable quad chairs.

The best place to start is going to be the world leader in chair life manufacturing – POMA.

You are going to have a hard time finding specific numbers because – like any other large equipment manufacturers – there are Non-Disclosure Agreements to how much they actually paid on their chairs. You can find the information if you do research on publicly listed ski resorts, though.
