How do I get on a ski lift with a snowboard?

Getting on a ski lift with a snowboard can seem daunting, but it's actually quite simple. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you:

  1. Approach the lift from the side. This will give you more space to get on and off the lift.
  2. Remove your snowboard and carry it in front of you. Make sure the board is facing forward and the bindings are facing away from you.
  3. Step onto the lift. Hold onto the safety bar with one hand and place your other hand on the back of the snowboard.
  4. Slide your snowboard onto the lift. Once the board is on the lift, secure it using the provided straps.
  5. Sit down on the lift and enjoy the ride.

Here are some additional tips:

  • If you're not comfortable carrying your snowboard, you can ask a lift attendant for help.
  • Be aware of other skiers and snowboarders around you.
  • Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it.
  • Can I get on a ski lift with a splitboard? Yes, but you'll need to put the board back together before getting on the lift.
  • Is it okay to put my snowboard on the lift upside down? No, the bindings should be facing away from you. Putting the board on upside down could cause the bindings to get damaged.
  • What do I do if I drop my snowboard on the lift? Don't panic. Simply ask the lift attendant to stop the lift and retrieve your board.
  • Can I take my snowboard on the lift with me if it's attached to my backpack? No, you cannot take your snowboard on the lift if it's attached to your backpack.
  • Is it safe to ride the lift with my snowboard on my back? No, it's not safe to ride the lift with your snowboard on your back. The board could fall off and injure someone below.
