James Michael Curran Sr. (1903-1968) was a pioneering American civil engineer who designed the chairlift, transforming skiing into a popular recreational sport in the United States. His innovation allowed skiers to easily ascend mountains, replacing less efficient systems like horse-powered tows. While he became well-known in bridge engineering during the 1940s and 1950s, his most significant contribution was the chairlift, which greatly enhanced the skiing experience and became a fundamental part of the ski industry for over 60 years.
