When the haul rope runs underneath the sheave train instead of above, it's because there is a negative force on the haul rope, which means that it is trying to go up. You usually see these at the beginning of steep hills or at the bottom of lifts. This is called a depression sheave

When it goes in between, it's callled a compression sheave. This is when there is no load, either positive (down) or negative (up) but depending on chair loading and other things, the rope could go up or down

My best attempt at a summary of what's on the Skilifts.org Glossary
