Navigating Ski Slopes with Surface Lifts
Skiers use button lifts, also known as platter lifts, to travel uphill while keeping their skis firmly on the snow surface. Passengers hold onto a vertical pole connected to a moving overhead cable system that pulls them along a prepared track. Protective gear such as helmets and goggles protects skiers against wind, bright glare, and unexpected tumbles.
How Platter Lifts Function on Winter Slopes
Button lifts feature individual plastic discs attached to spring-loaded poles suspended from an endless steel cable. The mechanical system moves continuously, allowing skiers to slip the round platter between their legs while being towed uphill smoothly. Early surface lifts revolutionized ski resorts by replacing strenuous uphill hikes with motorized transport.
