Chair lifts are the kinds of things that you don’t think much about until it breaks down and you’re stuck for an hour with Jim and Delia of Moorhead, Minnesota who want to know every excruciating detail of your life. But if you’re one of the maniacs at skilifts.org then you’re thinking about chair lifts all the time.
The site is chocked full of everything you ever wanted to know about our mechanical friends. The best part is the Chairlift Gallery, a smorgasborg of saucy lift photos from around the worlds.
There’s also a glossary of liftie slang. Now when that smart ass lift mechanic drops the term “breakover cord angle” into a conversation to make you look stupid, you can reply: “Oh breakover cord angle? You mean the difference in cord angles between towers. Also called breakover angle? That breakover cord angle?” And then punch him right in the face.
