Do you have an infatuation with ski lifts? Probably not because it’s pretty weird fetish to have and yet nonetheless, ski lifts are some of the most fascinating engineering wonders in the world. Sure, there are millions of people that love to ski or ride, but only a handful of people that truly love and appreciate the history and technology that is behind the carriers that get us up the mountain. Yep, I’m one of them and it probably makes me a dork, but I can look at ski lift pictures for hours on end, especially old and rare lifts. Thankfully, I know that there are a lot more of you out there and I encourage you to embrace this little hobby and take a look at what other lifts are out there other than the ones you ridden and the resorts you’ve visited. Several websites around the world focus on ski lifts, but one of my favorites is called Skilifts.org and not only has information of all the components and terms for lifts as well as a whole glossary, but they have a extensive photo and statistical library for ski lifts from all over the country that continues to grow by the month. Now get back to work!
