Stupidly Steep Chair Lift

[HardDanceRadio]

great terrain under the lift, makes me wanna shred it *_* just needs some more snow

[thingermahjig]

so where does it get steep...guess the brits aren't used to hitting big mountains :D

[amrita81696]

What if Frozen was set in this ski lift? Scary..

[Bdawg71692]

@amrita81696 saw that movie for the first time a couple months ago XD

[imonehellaloosepie]

just don't be a bitch hahaha

[joeskis]

you're in France but not on Rossis?

[MrQwerty123456789ish]

why dont tney let you ride down that part and get on another chair at the bottom

[yabudday121]

@MrQwerty123456789ish how much snow is under that chairlift? fucking idiot

[Mafatu123]

I will show you a steep chairlift when it opens at my local hill...

[arthatis]

hahahaha wow. i bet riding that chair lift over and over all day is fun.

[Mafatu123]

This isnt steep...

[jaketheman20]

@Mafatu123 DO U SEEE IT!?!

[AngusCPU]

yeah, yo see the idea is to ride DOWN the mountain, not take a chair down....

[pumkinchunkin]

why r u goin down

[gobo760]

A little trivia: YAN Mfg. (the chair lift company) went bankrupt due to the clamps on several chair lifts like this one (where the chair clamps the cable when leaving the terminal) that weren't gripping the cable properly, causing a domino effect on steep sections where one chair would start sliding down the cable, ramming the next one, ramming the next one, until they'd hit a guide pole, pop off, and crash down the mountain. Good times. :D

[NubCakeNick]

aahha yeah ive been on this chairlift ,, pretty fun 

[ichanter]

Wow... I live in washinton and that seems like going up chair five at mount baker. Just as steep

[ceecobeehan]

Think i remember this lift. Is there a big red slope that your looking straight at coming near the end of it.??

[wyat5]

i thought you were supposed to go up the hill..

[suffo222]

typical winging poms . the only thing thats horrible is listening to ur sickening voice.

[Jsin10921]

thats not even steep, it only looks semi bad cus ur going down instead of up. That mountain looks beautiful tho

[ZachManBeast123]

man...all you guys are lucky.....in the midwest united states our snowboarding places are small hills ):

[bombardierdude15]

I got verdigo just from watching

[cammyammy]

is it called alpauris? was there ages ago :)

[MikeMaurizioGyorgyi]

jeezas, im gonna be there in a week

[charlieandbells]

i've been on that :) we called it "The Sacry Chair"

[TheMizzMille]

You have to go down it to get to the main resort, there's no other way.

[GWIvid]

ppl should learn to make chair lift bridges. so u can go straight across.

[nicg814]

why are you going down

[TurbulentG]

i love skiing and ski lifts like this are all part of the skiing experience fucking love it !!!!

[20Harris10]

it look fun... na i would be shitting my self

[PLxFTW]

Are you going back down the mountain or up the mountain. I haven't really snowboarded very many places especially not in Europe.

[therealdrbyte]

i guess some people would be scared by that ride

[phaschum]

Poor snow coverage. It's no backcomb/whistler peak to peak chair

[burmkilla]

i always laugh at people going down the chairlifts. its like theyre too much of pussies to ski down.

[lildutchy]

the way up must be way scarier...

[crashin1]

Love this chair lift, so epic!

[reidkelly1]

wheres the fuckin snow my skihill has that much snow in end of july!

[BigNibble10]

its europe, get used 2 it

[Reorte]

Good fun, that chair. It takes you a bit by surprise the first time you do it.

Answering the "why are you going down?" questions (again) - it's taking you from one area to another, and there's nothing skiable on that side to get you to the bottom (at least not without going a long way around).

[FR3Estuff]

why are you going down a ski lift??

[ericguyot]

@FR3Estuff READ THE DESCRIPTION: "...then goes up the other side..."  wow. I thought people were smarter

[platinumfootage]

Why is it going DOWN?

[ohmygodstop]

@platinumfootage Because there is a valley so it can't just go straight. The poles would have to be really tall.

[JibbinThePark]

@ohmygodstop Oh please, My dick can fix that.

[mazda3issexy]

@platinumfootage it probabally goes up then down the valley then up

[brillwills]

got to be alp duez . . .. about the best ski lift there the rest are mainly pummell lifts

[NavDrood]

And I got freaked out at one like 80 feet up. Oh my god I'd die on that one haha.

[spartankid54]

first off why the fuck you you be going down in a chair lift it supposed to take you up ^

[dhemil]

its not scary its fun. and if you fall out a not steep lift you will break your bones like if you fall this steep one

[ONEzephyer]

Sucks for whoever falls out of that.

[TalentZuK]

ive been on that chair... near les menuires? i think

[dragoonerzerg]

if that pauses right at the top of that cliff on my way down, it would be fun to scream out "woot" loud enough for there to be echos xD

[TH3xM3DIC]

how the hell did they build that??

[iDenmark]

Hax

[RoguePhoenix6]

Yeah that is f*cking steep. Yeah the first time would be really scarey but it is still very steep. Great job and keep up the good work. God Bless all who serve!

[PepulzGuys]

Downriding!!!

[Pattkellz13]

France is a shithole bar a few ski resorts, however austria is mint.

[drummedbassers]

totally aggree austria was excellent, a lot more jumps!

go to a place called Leogang theres an excelent NItro board park there.

[fbcrazy5757]

thats crazy

[thespadeinator]

Not gonna lie...European lifts are ridiculous..can anyone confirm as to whether or not major european hills have a gondola

[SneSnowSlud]

every big european mountain has gondolas, even most of the small ones have them.

[Rush324]

lol thats crazy i wouldve been scared outta my mind!

[ryphilli1]

lol ure not wearing any gloves your hands get really cold!

[jayBULLS35]

why are you goin down arent you sposed to go to the top then skii down haha

[IdleKen]

haha

[johnboy7701]

Nope not vail was there 5 days ago..

[gballa50]

im here in avon (like 8 miles from vail and the city where beaver creek lies) and the Beaver Creek landing lift is pretty steep and rattles your balls.

[rye0miller]

That is not Vail.

[smithers93]

yh in europe, there are thousands of lifts steeper than that.

in norway, there were a load of single seat wooden chairs with i single (thin) chain that goes across the front - they moved really fast and on a really steep incline, and in the wind and blizzards your blown about so much its like a swing!!

[sfar785]

here in Colorado, we have lifts steeper than that without safety bars

[sethvicious]

really? name one?

[bruni197]

theres one at breck and one at loveland thats super steep without saftey bars

[SkateGeek27]

look at chair 23 at mammoth mountain

[mdarling929]

You all are too funny. In the US, we have tons of lifts that steep and half of them don't even have safety bars!! You're just not going downhill which makes it seem so much steeper.

[TimesNewRomanBand]

this is at vail

[andylockran]

no it's not :)  It's at Alpes d'Huez

[78k5]

@TimesNewRomanBand your a tard!

[PCXPBOY]

are you supposed to go down lifts?

[pur36054]

no its bringing him to another chair lift the the ski able part of the moutain

[55cifi]

I was on this last December, it stopped due to an idiot I expect almost exactly on top of the trail for the piste bashers, about mid way

[likemusic0192]

I think ive been here

[gareththegreat131313]

iv been down this lift and i know what u mean it is horrible

[charliewittke]

i had nightmares like that

[Nathanielflor]

There a few lifts at mammoth mountain in California that are just insanely steep

[pussy906]

yea, that one that goes up like from half way up to the top. ur like oh shit! goin up that lift.

[doug309e]

this lift looks a lot like the gold peak chair in vail

[chingchyonyo]

that is frightening

[rocknroll619]

Can people please get back to posting the nice comments... though it probably did deserve those last three replies. However, the girl is my sister - and can be far more annoying.. it wasn't the first time we did that - so I didn't ruin it for her.

luckynumber58 - why do you hate me?

[gourleyd]

f***ing whinging poms

[luckynumber58]

i feel sorry for the girl she just sits there and listens t the guy complaine and go on about how "disguisting" the chair lift is...i hate people like that

[italioguy]

this is nothing....who ever video-taped this, is a whimp..ive been on steeper chair lifts, both in usa and e.u

[Laughs4all]

one of the runs after that chair lift is called le Gua and it is literally horizontal for nearly the whole thing which makes it really tiring.

but it goes through a really beautiful village with lots of trees so its not that bad.

[Laughs4all]

ive been on that

[IndiePhish]

Oooooh, I've been there :D

[lukeyshane]

went on that in jan think its called the scare chair, we renamed it the girls chair its not that bad

[samuel49119422]

I went on this lift this year, so glad some else shared the same thoughts as me

[SNOWbbOARDER]

oooo i see

[SNOWbbOARDER]

wth why does it go down and not up?

[brad828]

because it goes to the other side of the valley and ther is a run to the bottom of the valley where you can get on midway

[nutterireland]

it goes up then down then up again to get across

[nutterireland]

i did that one its alpe dhuez france

[CCHAMAN4546]

thats a little rediculous

[John8785]

daaaammmmmmmmn

[brad828]

i like the way it goes under the runway :P

[brad828]

i went on that when i was 6 - i was scared

[neilswan]

jeezzz

[andylockran]

there's no snow on that side.. it was the south face :)

[zl2un]

Why didnt u ski down??

[knappar]

and i thought the slide brook express at sugarbush was scary

[stuch101]

ive been on that, bl00dy scary!!
