Ski Lifts




This is a view of the lift from the shops at the base of the mountain.

The advert for the car is where the 'bubble' lift is housed so you can get on it no matter what the weather is like.
Above are views of the bubble lifts from the ground.

The correct way to board a 'bubble' ski lift.

The bubble lifts come in three sizes - double (sits two people opposite each other, six
and eight seater.


Above is a double.

As the ride on a lift could take anywhere from 20 minutes to 40 minutes depending on the distance (and number of stops due to people being slow to get out) we decided to take a few pics.

Their are also 'chair' lifts which are open air metal chairs. These could hold two, four or six people.

As these were exposed to the elements it was pleasant when it began snowing or the wind picked up.

We were able to get fantastic views from the lifts and it was a pleasure just to sit and enjoy before the thrill of rushing down the hill began again.
