	Chairlift, Home Chairlifts - StairLiftsUSA.com
		A chairlift is a chair attached to a track that is attached to the staircase in your home.
		Chairlifts can be used for carrying you up and down the stairs, and can also be used for moving laundry, groceries, and other items.
		Wheel chairlifts work a lot like home chairlifts, but have a platform for a wheel chair to sit on instead of a chair such as on a chairlift.

	Chairlift - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A chairlift, also known as a fixed-grip chairlift, is a type of aerial lift, which consists of a constantly moving loop of steel cable strung between two end terminals and generally over intermediate towers.
		The lifts are usually powered by an electric motor, often with a diesel engine for backup in case of flouts (which are fairly common since ski resorts tend to be in remote areas).
		Fixed-grip chairlifts are already less common-place at most major ski areas in North America, replaced by the faster Detachable chairlift.

	Detachable chairlift - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A detachable chairlift or high-speed chairlift is a type of aerial lift, which, like a chairlift, consists of numerous chairs that are connected to a constantly moving steel cable that is strung between two terminals over intermediate towers.
		Detachable chairlifts are far faster than their fixed-grip brethren.
		In this type of chairlift the chairs move at the same speed as a detachable lift's, even through the terminal, and skiers are already moving on a belt of carpet-like material when they meet the chairs.

	SKI RESORT TRAGEDY PROMPTS CHAIRLIFT INVESTIGATION
		The Ministry of Municipal Affairs determined that both the failed grip and the grip with a steel insert were unsafe and required that ski resorts discontinue use of all lifts that employed the grips.

		The purpose of a detachable-style chairlift is to enable passengers to board and unboard the chairs at a comfortable pace while maintaining a constant cable speed so passengers quickly reach the top of the slope.

	Baby Thunder Chairlift
		We believe the evaluation of the proposed chairlift in the EA is flawed because it improperly analyzes the need, it does not adequately address the cumulative effects, and it ignores or unjustifiably minimizes adverse environmental consequences.
		We believe the Baby Thunder chairlift proposal should be evaluated at the same time as the other Snowbird/Little Cottonwood Canyon projects, so that the Forest Service and the public can appreciate all of the impacts on the affected environment and how it can used and enjoyed.
		We believe that approval of the Baby Thunder chairlift cannot be given until that master plan is reviewed and analyzed under NEPA; approval of the Baby Thunder chairlift now constitutes the "segmenting" of projects that the courts have consistently condemned.
