LOL thats Hilarius's. At grouse mountain they just kindly ask everyone to put the bar down.

What, may I ask, does that mean? Looks like a possessive, but of what I can't tell.

He was Pope of the Roman Catholic Church from 461 to 468. He was canonized after his death. Perhaps he died as a result of not lowering his restraint bar and the speaker system was installed in his honor?

I'm bringing this up to the top, because I was wondering if anyone knew anything about European safety bar codes. The Frenchies on remontees-mecaniques.net are shocked that people don't use the bar, and even more shocked that some chairlifts do not have safety bars.
