Ski Sundown's Dancing Lifty: The Sequel

Eric Wesolowski is back at the mountain for his fourth season.

For the fourth season, Ski Sundown's famous dancing lifty, Eric Wesolowski, is entertaining customers as they get ready to ride up the mountain. 

Wesolowski dances and sings as he helps riders on to the lift and often spins, jumps and pumps his arms between chairs. 

The Burlington resident, who was also featured in Patch last year, said his job is so much fun that snowboarding almost seems like work. 

"I love making people happy," Wesolowski said. "I love dancing and having a good time out here." 

Sundown owner/general manager Bob Switzgable said Wesolowski is able to help customers while having a good time and putting smiles on their faces. 

"He's just a great guy," Switzgable said. "He exemplifies what we're trying to do here." 

Ski Sundown is located at 126 Ratlum Road, off Routes 44 and 219, in New Hartford (much of the land is in Canton).
