I can remember using one of these carpets before and the first time is really bizarre. Its is quite an alien feeling.
Suggest you try it out with friends first as we all ended up in a pile. Great fun !

The loading carpets are fun the first few times as you will find that as you ski onto them and you come to a sudden standstill which, if your not prepared for it, will send you flying forwards and ending up in a nice little pile with the chairlift being stopped whilst you gather yourself and everyone else you took out at the same time. :oops:

Biggest i've been on was an 8er in wagrain! They too had all new lifts all with bubbles some heated too! However apart from one day it was too hot for the bubble so didnt bother!

Sounds like marketing hype to me;)
Heated seats? Plastic covers? Moving lift queues? :roll:

Its probably dodgy translation, meant to say it has an 6 man chair, magic carpet and gondola.

For those of you, like me, who have a concern for knees:
When you are on the moving carpet, or just on a plain snow base, waiting, , and your fellow seatees are in alignment, take a shuffle forwards, just before the chair arrives.
Someone else in the queue will take the Whack behind the knees, and you will sink softly, and gracefully into place.

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..
