[T1mm0s]

I remember that chairlift. I was also surprised at the top.

[JMcKaySV]

[SiXiS4]

wtf is scary here ?

[Smoketrees503]

That is an amazing view

[crazyrabbitbob]

ive been on that chairlift.. omg i was petrified

[btbbuilder]

Try Alta/Snowbird Lifts. Those are insane..Id rather be hiking than riding up some of those

[TheUgoval]

!!!!!!!

[fuzzyfasi]

Wow. That really isnt that bad. it almost looks like the drop on the chair at the landing from beaver creek...

[tillyboos]

The scenery is breathtaking......

[BeckydazzlerTV]

Love Val d'Isere! Best place to ski!

[Brappznd]

When I first went on this, my mates told me we we're getting off at the top, so i started to put the safety bar up, only to realise we we're going over a hill with a huge drop on the other side! Was not nice!

[suppan83]

Well, in fact there's nothing so scary about this chairlift. Maybe for those British or US tourists who go to ski three times a year, when everything that lifts you above 5 meters is scary...

[CharIiePresents]

I've been on this :D

[MrRideutah]

id love to snowboard there...

[123splat123]

I survived this chairlift 

[OliScale]

haha i remember that, much scarier in real life than on video

[cowmanpigman]

when does it get scary?

[m00perz]

why not just have two chairlifts on each side. then people could have fun skiing/snowboarding down!

[ILikeWeatherGuy]

mabye this is a ski lift that takes you to another ski area..?

[Horia747]

been there and done it. not scary but fun

[Enzo7503]

more like dumbest lift - there's no point in having skis on when it takes you DOWN, not UP. Stupid chairlift company.

[TheOriginalTubbster]

That's amazing, I want to go on that ski lift just to see the sites

[TheBassmentmusic]

Sweet u just paid all that money to ride a chairlit

[noreason94]

that's not scary

[isSHEEPMANimmortal]

for once i can say... i've been there!! best snowboarding of my life.

[passthepipe1]

It's actually scarier the other way... :)

[D3ADLYxW0LF]

I hate cameras that hear the air blow in the mic its so annoying

[taylorlutz]

why would they build a chairlift that takes you down the mountain, that deletes the purpose of skis

[Dragalug]

@taylorlutz Unless they went back down you would run out of lifts very fast.....

[chanctonbury63]

@taylorlutz Gets you from one ski area/valley to another. Theres no other way over unless you climb and it would be a very long one!

[Babymudkip3000]

@taylorlutz its for the pussys who pussy out.

[69remm]

@taylorlutz its to get to an other region....duh

[2012snowboarding]

@taylorlutz its all about snowboarding

[taylorlutz]

@2012snowboarding i've done both, skiing is better

[nitramf]

@taylorlutz they have built it so that you can get to the other side of the mountain. they surely would have built an top station if the geographic structure would have allowed it.

[wjones101]

@taylorlutz you don't ride it back down...unless your a pussy. it is a pulley system designed so that one end brings you up while the chairs going down can pick up more people hahaha

[Bikemat]

@taylorlutz You can take this lift in the both ways. Its purpose is to link to valleys a lot faster than if you ski around the mountain, mainly at the end of the day when skiers want to get back to their proper valley.

[MrHappyh1ppo]

@taylorlutz because it takes you over a ridge connecting two ski areas, you can go on it either way.

[SkiLiftsRock]

@taylorlutz It is harder to install the terminal on a rock foundation, the slope is an effect on the engineering, and there needs to be power lines that run underground.

[hughthehand2]

@taylorlutz defeats.... not deletes

[mrbuckethead18]

@taylorlutz the lift isn't meant to be ridden down the mountain. the person is just riding back down to the base of the lift. the chairs don't just stay at the top of the mountain... they have to go in a circle and come back down.

[rmizeelectric]

@mrbuckethead18 wrong... so wrong. this lift is definitely meant top be ridden up and over the mountain, and down the other side. You know at the top where no one got off... what was it you saw there that told you it was not supposed to be ridden down the other side of the mountain?

[mrbuckethead18]

@rmizeelectric there was a lot more people riding up the mountain, like you are supposed to do. and the fact that when the person filming is riding down the mountain on the lift it is a much longer stretch than when he is riding up the mountain on the lift. trust me, i ski nearly everyday.

[rmizeelectric]

@mrbuckethead18 you should open your eyes while you are skiing!!! especially if you do it every day! or maybe while you are watching YT vids!!! hahaha it is VERY CLEAR that there is nowhere to get off the lift at the top. please watch again... and what is your excuse for all the other people riding up from the other side? IT'S OBVIOUSLY A 2-WAY LIFT!!!!! wow........ "trust me i ski everyday"- hahahahahahahahahaha

[mrbuckethead18]

@rmizeelectric first of all, if you are going to quote me, do it correctly. secondly, there is no way to even tell if there is a place to get off at the top of the lift because the video doesn't show the top of the lift. It shows the bottom of the lift, or i guess what you believe to be the top of the lift. no shit it is a two way lift... the chairs have to go in a fucking circle so that they can get back to the bottom. you don't have to get off at the top of the lift if you don't want to.

[rmizeelectric]

@mrbuckethead18 0:43... watch carefully over the next few seconds. if you look REALLY carefully you can see the top of the lift. you know the part where it stops going up and goes back down? that's the top! sorry about that misquote - "trust me i ski everyday" should have read "trust me i ski NEARLY everyday." sorry about that. you are clueless man. seriously...

[mrbuckethead18]

@rmizeelectric that is the bottom of the lift but whatever. you can think what you want to think. i am sick of arguing with an idiot.

[rmizeelectric]

@mrbuckethead18 haha ok. you and me both. thanks though you did provide some good laughs :)

[doodywoodpekker]

nice, i was on there! But the scariest part is when it goes backwards.



[xXGEN3000KBMXx]

you failed hard at spelling scariest wrong.

[tourdeforce86]

@xXGEN3000KBMXx

you mean wrongly

[xXGEN3000KBMXx]

@tourdeforce86 well there both correct =P

[Ruelley]

@xXGEN3000KBMXx haha he really did :D

[HockeyRock2000]

@xXGEN3000KBMXx He spellt scariest the same as you did....

[xXGEN3000KBMXx]

@HockeyRock2000 he changed it, before it was scareeyest

[darksinthe]

@xXGEN3000KBMXx if he failed hard at spelling it wrong, that would mean he spelled it right. if he failed hard at spelling it right that means he spelled it wrong. so if he spelled it scareeyest, he didnt fail at spelling it wrong, he just failed at spelling it.

[xXGEN3000KBMXx]

@darksinthe Stop talking man your making yourself look like a retard.

[darksinthe]

@xXGEN3000KBMXx actually no, quite the opposite. my statement proves youre a retard youre just too dumb to comprehend it.

[xXGEN3000KBMXx]

@darksinthe mk mister roblox douche just go play your little roblox game and dont get yourself into trouble before somone cuts your throat

[xXGEN3000KBMXx]

@darksinthe all you can do is repost my comments then make another minecraft video i dont understand your logic its like you want somone to hit you like man you know once youve commented on my post i was gonna get mad so why do u do it. all im saying is you should watching the way you talk to peolpe cuz one day somone will literally destroy your well being.

[darksinthe]

@xXGEN3000KBMXx repost your comments? wtf are you talking about? lol. i was just citing an error in your grammar. it was a joke. stop acting like a child.

[xXGEN3000KBMXx]

@darksinthe not funny.

[LunedeFiel]

Nice

[charade993]

thats heading towards the glacier is it not? i cant remember the name of it.

[peoplesish]

cant wait im going in march :) i just hope ts not slushy anyone know if it is?

[davidpn1]

Camera doesn't do it justice. I went over it last weekend and the people in front were screaming. I'm not afraid of heights but uneasy doesn't come close to how I felt the first time!

[Scwirul]

I'd heard it was scary too, but never found it scary when I went over myself ;]

I'd done it lots of times, and never realised it was 'supposed' to be scary..

[MissAmyLeeRobinson]

Beautiful!
