Chondola's

It hurts me to say this but I agree with Pabs :lol:

Me too, even if its the coldest windiest snowiest day I'll have it open, I love being in the elements, all part of skiing as far as Im concerned!

Open chair, with legs and skis, dangling under the footrest. Looking at the birdlife, listening to the snow, softly falling.

1 foot up on the rest, one dangling being swung about normally! Ahhhh bliss, and in a week today it will be my first skiing day! :D

I hate people who pull the bubble on a chair down with a passion, it's the only thing that riles me when on the mountain.

If they do I push it straight back up 8)

Sterling behaviour sir!!

About seven years ago we were riding on a chair lift on the quite side of Les Deux Alps. As you do we were kicking the fresh snow of the branches of the fir trees below us with the tips of our skis whilst we ascended, well you guessed it, my mates ski tip snagged in the branches below & nearly pulled him through the safety bar, his ski binding only released as his body started to twist around. Believe me he was screaming & I was hanging onto him & there was no way of stopping the chair lift. We were extremely lucky that day & my mate was okay to ski after the shock of the event. :oops:
The moral of the story, keep your feet & body parts safely within the chair envelope because that chair isn't stopping for nothing. :oops:
