I do the footrest.

Down. But only after requesting/announcing.

Cheap insurance against freak occurrences.

Plus, my aging knees kind of like it.

Em — state law in Vt.

+1. Mostly because it makes a lift PB & J or lift beer a bit easier to get out of my pack and consume.

BUT this is an absolute non-issue at Loveland (my home ski area) where no lift has safety bars. Lift 7 (the bunny hill lift) may...never ridden it.

Yo Loveland's got to get with it. It's all about the footrest yo.

Yes, weird — I was warned for not using the bar in Vt. (an implied pass-pulling offense, were I not compliant), whereas in the west the bar seems highly optional (or not an option).

<3 footrest. But don't generally bother to put the bar down unless someone requests, or if we're stopped for a long time (that lurch when it starts going again freaks me out). Or if my knees are feeling sore.

My husband much prefers the bar down. Some !@#!#@! at Crested Butte gave him shit about it. If I'd actually heard the comment correctly - I believe he called my husband a portion of female anatomy - that guy wouldn't have had to worry chair lift bars one way or the other for quite some time.

I specifically chose not to watch that link.

I do not like them. One lift at RLM used to have a footrest they took off the footrests so now it's just a safety bar. But I ride with a lot of people who like them, live with one too. When I ride a lift by myself I never use them. With other people I just go with the flow.

If I get put in time out I will put gum in your new liners, so there.

Well that was obvious when you invoked Vermont law.
Watch it, it's shy of really good but it's good. Yo

I complied.

I want those three minutes back.

 

[Daves not here]

I am fine either way. No preference. I actually do not like the footrest ... My repaired ACL prefers the leg to hang and stretch it turns out. My wife likes the bar down.

I watched it. Months ago, not today, but still. Why can't I also answer the question?
