Riding the chairlift can be one of the best parts of the day—the views are beautiful, your legs get a rest and you get to catch up with (or make new) friends!
But it’s important (and part of Your Responsibility Code) to know how to load, ride, and unload all lifts safely. Whether this is a chairlift, a rope tow, or a carpet, knowing how to use these lifts will make your day more fun and safe.
Ask an attendant, ski patroller, or other area employee for help. Learning how to ride the lift is also one of the features of a lesson, and another reason it’s worth discovering snow with a pro.
Check out the videos below for some great examples, tips and tutorials on everything you need to know to ride the lift safely.
