My take on chairlifts

I firmly believe that the people who own the ski mountains/ chairlift companies purposely make them go slow so you can get dome on them. Like think about it even the high speed lifts and gondolas arent that fast. HELLO PEOPLE its the 21st century im sure if they really really wanted to they could have them go in excessive of 100 mph and slow down enough for people to load/unload them. I just cant imagine any other reason behind chairlifts except to get some dome on your way up the mountain while sitting next to a nice lady friend. Honestly, the things go probably like 10 mph max. NS give me your opinions.

its the entire thing where people have to be safe. If they could make them faster, that means more people on the hill, and more people coming to the mountain meaning more ticket sales. SO im sure that they are running as fast as possible.

Yes, worrying about chairlifts going slow so one can 'get dome' on them is a serious issue. I thought the point of going to a mountain was to ski? If you want head so bad, don't you have a car or a bedroom for that? Well, considering your probably 12 I doubt you have a car, or a dick big enough to even feel something remotely pleasurable.

The speed of ski lifts directly impacts the amount of money the resort can dish out for insurance. It's alot
