ski lift

A ski lift is a mechanical system designed to transport skiers and snowboarders uphill on a mountain. It typically consists of chairs, cabins, or a cable that runs along a loop, with the cable powered by a motor. Riders board at the base, and the lift pulls them up to higher elevations, allowing more time on slopes for skiing or snowboarding. Ski lifts are essential for efficient and safe movement on ski resorts, eliminating the need for skiers to climb steep terrain manually, and enabling continuous access to different parts of the mountain for recreation.
