ski lift

Slope ascent ride

A ski lift is a mechanical system that transports skiers up a slope, typically using chairs, gondolas, or surface conveyances attached to a moving cable.

Riders descend under their own power, then take the lift back up: We waited twenty minutes for the ski lift.

Also called simply a lift on the mountain.
