Why do some lifts have both gondola and chairs on them insted of just one? It seems that if they had one or the other it should be the gondola.

Some ski resorts like Telluride use the chondola setup for ski school. It allows kids who aren't familiar or aren't tall enough to load and unload the lift easier.
Other resorts might have chosen the chondola setup for convenience of their users. Some people would rather ride up in a gondola cabin than in the cold nasty weather, where as others hate the issue of having to take their skis off and put them back on every time they ride a gondola.

Telluride's chondola is also used as part of the regional transportation system and it is open until midnight for footpassengers during the winter season. Footpassengers are loaded into the cabins and the chairs are removed from the line at night to save grip wear.
