ski lifts

Slope ascent systems

Ski lifts are mechanical systems that transport skiers and snowboarders up a mountain slope.

The term covers various designs: chairlifts carry passengers on suspended seats, gondolas enclose them in cabins, and surface lifts like T-bars pull them along the ground.

We took the ski lift to the summit and skied down.
