What is t bar lifts?

T-bar lifts, also known as T-bars or platters, are ski lifts that consist of a T-shaped bar attached to a cable that is pulled by a motorized wheel. The T-bars are designed to carry one or two skiers up the slope while standing between their legs, with one person holding the bar and the other person standing behind.

T-bars are typically used on beginner slopes or as an alternative lift option to chairlifts and gondolas. They are more affordable and require less maintenance compared to other lift types. However, T-bars have some drawbacks such as being difficult for beginners to use, as well as being less comfortable during the ride up.

T-bars are commonly found in ski resorts around the world, particularly in Europe and North America. They were first introduced in the 1930s in Europe and have since become a popular choice for smaller resorts and ski schools.
