My daughter had a fear of chairlifts for at least one season...finally got over it a bit when we got her to go on the double at Gunstock. Even then, it took some time to get her to go on a HSQ and it was only the last time we went this past season that she was willing to go on the peak triple at Pats Peak.My soon to be 8 year old grandson wants to learn to ski but has a fear of the chairlift. He does have a fear of heights. How he acquired this fear I have no idea but it is almost overwhelming. Do I spend the money on lessons knowing he will right now never leave a surface lift right now? Is there a way to get him accustom to the height of a ski-lift without completely overwhelming him in fear?
Though I've not ridden them I seem to recall the beginner lifts at Wachusett and BW never getting more than a few feet off the ground.
