Whats This?

I generally stick a hand out and bush the chair back so it is at an angle and scoops you off the ground swinging, stops it cracking you in the knees..

Young feller like you should be taking two paces backwards :evil:

While in Andorra a mate of mine took a shuffle forwards just before the lift hit so we all took the bump (thinking it would save his knees), but went a little too far. The result being him perched on the edge of the chair for a few seconds and then bye bye as he fell off at about 6' landing in a nice star shape. The 3 of us remaining safely on the lift turned and laughed as he pulled his head out of the snow only to be humiliated by the lift attendant asking how the hell you can fall off a lift.....

He never did it again..... Saying that he had only been skiing for a few days and was no expert at skiing or lift access / egress.

Heated seats? Plastic covers? Moving lift queues? :roll:

Theres a fairly new one 6-seat one in Kaprun - and believe me last weekend when it was in the minus twenties those heated seats and bubble were a godsend!

Sounds like there are a lot of resorts not upgrading their lifts, these have been around for years.

I love watching first timers on the chair lifts
