I'm a regular poster at onride.de, a Germany-based forum for theme parks and amusement rides. This caught my eye and I thought you guys might get a kick out of it. I've never seen a lift set up like this before! And the ride down looks amazing. :)

And you've got to see these videoclips of the sled loading/unloading from the lift:

Enjoy!

There are a few of those over in Europe. If you look around on the alpin-forum.com site, there are some more pictures of them. :)

There's one at Blackcomb that also has a lift hill that takes you to the top, no need to take the chair up. :thumbsup:

  • Interests:yo, my name is Christian, and I live in the San Francisco Bay Area (Berkeley ....sort of) skiing is what I do best, and I love the mountains. Of course I love skilifts too, which is why I'm here. I'd like to learn more about them and maybe work in the Ski industry later on in life.<br /><br />Let it snow.
