lift line

Skiers waiting together

A lift line is the queue of skiers or snowboarders waiting to board a chairlift or gondola at a ski resort.

Long lift lines on busy weekends can mean significant waits between runs: We got there early to beat the lift lines.

The term sometimes appears as one word: liftline.
