Using and riding chair lifts when skiing and snowboarding is one of the primary safety considerations for users. Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability to load, ride and unload safely. As you approach the lift read all signs and warnings. If you are unfamiliar with a lift, please ask the attendant for help if needed. A skier’s behavior has as much or more to do with the safety of the sport as does any piece of equipment from helmet to chair lift.
Ask the attendant if you are unsure or need help.
Keep your bottom on the seat and your back against the back of the chair
Don’t fool around on the lift. Face forward for the whole ride
