Snowboarder vs Ski Lift

Hilarious first attempt of a drag lift by Frank Spencer (aka Dave Doleman of Harel Insurance Brokers, Lloyds of London). First day of a lads week ski trip to Veysonnaz, Switzerland. Sit back and enjoy! (YT)

I've never seen this type of lift in the States. Is it for beginners? I can't imagine it gets to that steep of terrain if it has to drag you up first.

Even after snowboarding for 15 years, these lifts are infuriating. You'll see them a lot at bunny hills or even at high-elevation areas where you need just one more low-maintenance lift to get you to the peak.

Yeah, I remember being in that same situation as a 3 year old. Those things were scary. And yes they have them in the States. Pretty much any popular resort in Colorado has that kind of lift somewhere. I still dislike em, too much drag not enough lift and then you have to watch your skiis the whole way up definitely watched decent skiers lose poles or a ski on the way up, so dont feel bad guy, but just sit on the damn thing and hold on, just like your momma does.

Yeah, there's a lot of these at club fields in NZ. They're a pain in the arse, but nowhere near as scary as a nutcracker rope tow.
