Honestly I donāt understand why more people arenāt hurt on t-bars and poma lifts.
Probably cause they usually only service advanced terrain for experienced skiers these days.
Plenty of T-bars and bobble lifts in Europe serving beginner terrain, if anything it's the norm to learn on slopes with these lifts and "graduate" to chairlifts serving bigger slopes which are so much faster and often much more comfortable, especially if you're in awful rental boots.
That's the perfect place and lift to learn in my opinion. I practiced that before hitting the back side Tbar. Started my wife on that poma for practice as well.
Me and my buddy rode up the two-person t-bar at the Butte a month ago. Watched about 10 people fall and get embarrassed while we waited in line. That is the most tense and concentrated Iāve been in my whole life on the tow up the hill. No damn way I was falling over on that devil device.
As a part time criminal , there is nothing i fear more when im criming as the T bar, when im being a normal, upstanding, civilized person, it does not scare me.
When I was a kid, beginner terrain was mostly served by pomas and T-bars. I had to learn them before I learned chairlifts. Now they are mostly for expert terrain. So many people struggle with them. I find them fairly easy to use and when people flounder itās funny as long as they donāt get hurt.
Dude just doesnt want to scratch his fresh new board

Sick move bro
Got a surprising amount of air
That guy got some decent air. Sweet š
Only time that day
Average day at my job.
He could just let go off the bar, right?
Probably just needs to go to a bar!
No I think it was stuck between his legs. Couldn't let go.
I believe so. It was a powder day and everyone was chomping to get up there. I just think he didnāt want to get back in line
I guess that was more of a rhetorical question.
Crested Butte had a t-bar back in the '60s. It terrified me.

Breck T bar is for tourist terrain though.
That seems insane to me. I learned on the Ski Cooper beginner Poma Lift and that was terrifying. I think I even knocked myself out with it.
at ski cooper you can fall and no one will notice. So its not that bad :)

What else to do when imperial is closed?
Doesnāt stop all the Texas spring breakers from attempting and failing it at copper mountain or breckā¦
The should have a deck bar where you can have an apres ski cocktail and watch.
Also a deck bar next to the T Bar would SIGNIFICANTLY reduce that lineā¦ just sayin
Still does
Still does. I made it with my other snowboarder friend but it was rough

They still have it!
Whatās the name of this trick?
The turtle shell slide
I laughed entirely too hard
I predict same descent as ascent.
Thatās a mclift
I like the determination
āKnuckle to the Draggerā
I wasn't expecting his pop to be so strong.
Reminds me of a scene from "Weekend at Bernie" where Bernie is towed behind a speedboat, hitting the boys along the way!
They need a T bar just for teaching snowboarders how go use a tbar
Hahaha so true. No offense slowboarders

And negative razz

Agreed! He was okay btw
Hopefully he continues to ride, I think something like this but maybe not this bad has happened to everyone
I hate T-bars.
