#chairlifts

There are a lot of different types of ski lifts out there, but when it comes to chairlifts, there's really just two primary categories: fixed-grip and detachable. Chairs on a fixed-grip lift are permanently attached to the haul rope, moving at a constant speed throughout operation. Chairs on a detachable lift, however, detach from the main haul rope at the bottom and top terminals, allowing for higher speeds on the ride while slowing down to load and unload.
