Ski lift
The term ski lift can refer to many different types of uphill transport, in three main classes:
Lift systems and networks
The network of lifts at a ski resort can be arranged in several patterns depending on the size and topography of the area. Several lifts may be arranged outward from a common base area, with top stations along surrounding peaks and ridges. Lifts may also run radially inward from several base stations to a common summit area. Ski areas located along the face of a long ridge may simply have numerous lifts running roughly parallel, while many ski areas have two or more lifts in parallel in high-traffic areas for increased capacity. A small percentage of ski areas have lifts which cross one another, usually with an aerial lift crossing above a surface lift and more rarely with two aerial lifts crossing at different heights above the ground.| See more at Wikipedia.org... |
