Cochran’s website states they are not doing rentals this year fyi if you’re looking to rent. I would suggest Smuggs, you can get a Morse Mtn only ticket for a pretty good price and that allows you to get on the magic carpet. Teaching a first timer to get on the carpet will be way easier and less tiring than a rope tow. You could spend a good part of a day just teaching someone to use the rope tow and tbar. I know because I grew up skiing at Hard’ack in St. Albans. If you’re looking for cheap, Hard’ack is the way to go since they run off donations of any amount (you don’t have to donate to go), you just need to have your own equipment, or rent else where. Hard’ack only has a tow rope though, but again it’s free.
