They had one in the resort in Austria I just got back from. Heated seats are a game changer and, with no line, makes cold weather days a dream cos you're on the lift most of the time. Love the "Lazer lanes" shots ππ€£
Laser guides! Heated seats! Bubble cover! Kids today are spoiled, LOL. I remember waiting for the lift attendant to wipe the slush off the seat, because East Coast, before riding through six different types of precipitation only to arrive at the top looking like Frosty the Snowman. It built character. π
I hate this style of chair because I can't tuck my poles to free up my hands while riding. And the added complexity increases maintenance costs (which translates to higher lift tickets), power draw, and reduced reliability.
Rode this lift last week. It's sick, but when hopping on it, you often get way too close to the vehicle in front. You almost get pushed under it by the treadmill, quite a scare
Problem with that the lift is also fast. In the age of overtourism/skiing in EU, you don't find queues at the starts, but the lifts vomit enormous amount of poor souls on top and you find crowds of skiers criss crossing each other in the tracks They try to escape fate of being hit and, of course, hardly enjoy the ride.
I'm 75 and, thanks God, I enjoyed tranquil skiing of the last century.
Again bad ass that thereβs protection from the wind, heated seats, and no need to have beginners struggle getting on and off. But idk that I need to sit with 4-6 more people. I enjoy the 2-4 seaters.

Future of skiing. . . . For Olympians and ultra wealthy only . . . Fuuuuuttuuurrrreeeee!!
Why dont we just make lift tickets not 1000 dollars
I'll stick to old school metal T bar style. How do you strap in with all the people?

Lol, all that money and infrastructure to go down a hill.

Me, a European: Whats interesting on this, most ski lifts are like this
Loon watching thisβ¦

No wonder lift tickets are $300 a day!
No wonder lift passes have skyrocketed.
I don't care that it's not windy. The first time I'm in a bubble lift, I'm pulling down the bubble.
where i live this is standard

and this is why lift tickets are 300 bucks
What about the dismount? That's where I always see the problems.
With all that technology, they still had to have a guy manually wiping excess snow off the laser platform.

Best thing with newer chairlifts are the bubble and ass heating!
