Easy to say until your on a lift with 7 other people

Riding this lift today, it goes so fast, you are not on it long enough to need foot rests! What’s it take, 4 minutes to get to the top? As a snowboarder, I have no complaints.

There's an easy solution just don't put the bar down

Some of the new Dopps, the bar is automatic. If you prevent it from coming down, you stop the entire lift

I think Waterville’s (which IMO legitimately does suck) has the mandatory bar drop also. Not sure I dig that trend.

You can ride superstar with the bar up

The bars of yesteryear did absolutely nothing for a small child under 5yo. I say that without hyperbole. I almost lost a kid early on ski teaching with the bar down near the top of a lift. I'll never forget this boy's face looking at me wide-eyed when he realized (after I grabbed him) what would have happened.

The old style bar is not coming back the way liability is in this industry. More kid-proofing and more automation.
