Nellie, I do prefer my feet on terra firma given the choice, altho that said, in the context of my (lack of) skiing ability, sitting on a chair lift might actually be the safer option :D

now see Swingbeep, that is just downright cruel! Like sitting on a plane as the passenger sat next to you recounts all the air disasters they can recall.

I'm not really expecting a solution, just curious to see what others experience is :)
I'll carry on keeping my eyes shut and sneaking the odd peak as I go up....

ah thanks John, it is all a theme. I hate heights and flying but if you want to enjoy certain things in life you have to get on with it so I do.
I almost enjoyed the heated seat chair lifts with the lid down, now if they were all like that I might even manage the Val d'Isere one!!!

good point, but I do love skiing really and the chair lift is a means to a (hopefully) good end. Shame they aren't a few feet nearer the ground tho :)

Does anyone share my fear/borderline phobia of chair lifts?
If so, how do you get over it?
I sing to myself with my eyes shut, but that only works if I am on a chair with someone I know that will nudge me at the right time to open my eyes and get off...
