“Ski lift”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

A ski lift is a mechanism for transporting skiers up a hill. Ski lifts are typically a paid service at ski resorts. The first ski lift was built in 1908 by German Robert Winnerbalder in Schollach/Eisenbach, Hochschwarzwald.^[1]

Types

Aerial lifts transport skiers while suspended off the ground.^[2] Aerial lifts are often bicable ropeways, the "bi-" prefix meaning that the cables have two different functions (carrying and pulling).^[3]

Aerial tramways
Chairlifts and detachable chairlifts
Funifors
Funitels
Gondola lifts
Hybrid lifts

Surface lifts, including T-bars, magic carpets, and rope tows.

Cable railways, including funiculars

Helicopters are used for heliskiing and snowcats for snowcat skiing. This is backcountry skiing or boarding accessed by a snowcat or helicopter instead of a lift, or by hiking. Cat skiing is less than half the cost of heliskiing, more expensive than a lift ticket but is easier than ski touring. Cat skiing is guided.^[4] Skiing at select, extreme resorts, like Silverton Mountain, is also guided, even when skiing just off the lift.^[5]
