	Ski tow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rope tows are limited in distance because they cannot have intermediate supports; some ski areas have a series of rope tows instead.
		Rope tows are largely supplanted by chair lifts, which have the advantages of not blocking off a portion of the skiable terrain, don't require skiable terrain under them, require fewer passenger skills and are generally more comfortable and sociable.
		Rope tows are still common at ski areas around the world, particularly small areas or in relatively flat portions of ski areas devoted to beginners—often called bunny slopes.

	Stopdesign \| Me Against the Rope Tow
		The idea of these rope tows is to grip the moving rope loosely and build up speed until you and your snowboard or skis are moving at the same speed as the rope.
		Once moving along with the rope, you’re supposed to attempt to lock the nut cracker over the rope, thus eliminating the need to keep your hands tightly gripped on the rope.
		Although it may be cheap to install on a low-budget ski field, it’s a nightmare for someone that’s never used an old-school rope tow before, especially while trying to keep a snowboard straight.

		Smalley also recommends that boat owners who add after-market tow pylons follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and not let passengers ride behind the point where the tow rope is attached.

	Eclipse EM-0008-02: Eclipse - tow flight closeup and release
		The primary goal of the project was demonstrating the tow phase of the Eclipse concept using a scaled-down tow aircraft (C-141A) and a representative aerodynamically-shaped aircraft (QF-106A) as a launch vehicle.
		The objectives were: demonstration of towed takeoff, climb-out, and separation of the EXD-01 from the towing aircraft; validation of simulation models of the towed aircraft systems; and development of ground and flight procedures for towing and launching a delta-winged airplane configuration safely behind a transport-type aircraft.
		Kelly Space and Technology hopes to use the data gleaned from the tow tests to develop a series of low-cost reusable launch vehicles, in particular to gain experience towing delta-wing aircraft having high wing loading, and in general to demonstrate various operational procedures such as ground processing and abort scenarios.

	NASA Eclipse Project
		The ultimate plan is to tow a spacecraft off the ground with a jumbo jet, such as a 747, tow it to altitude where it would be through most of the Earth's atmosphere, where they would "light up" the spacecraft's engine(s) as it was released from the tether.
		Part of this difference between the simulation and the flight tests may be due to the assumption of a straight tow rope in the simulation.
		In later flights, the tow rope was marked at regular intervals and video images were recorded so that this phenomenon could be studied in more detail.

	Making Your Own Ganglines
		You will have to be extra careful here, as you will need plenty of rope for the tug line because you need to make a loop in the end for the brass clip, and have enough to braid through the tow line and make the tug for the opposite side.
		However, the distance between the connection points for the tug lines in a team section and a given neckline should be whatever the distance is from the connection point on the dog's harness to the connection point on the dog's collar (some slack is fine, but don't put in too much).
		Third, the neckline is not braided into the tow line at all, but rather is a piece of 1/4 in poly with clips on either end that attached to the two lead dog's collars.
