After looking at the T-bar -- which looks to me like a pogo stick attached to a wire by a goose neck -- I think if I ever do ski I'll just walk up the mountain.<BR/>It's embarrassing to admit, but I think I've been confusing T-bars with I-beams (another word that comes up in crosswords a lot). Hopefully I've got it straight now.Norrin2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08556797281238202366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15397221.post-28766811129056521722007-07-30T16:04:00.000-04:002007-07-30T16:04:00.000-04:00As one who has been a skier for 40 years, let me e...As one who has been a skier for 40 years, let me enlighten you in a way that might stick. While nowadays most ski areas use high-speed chairlifts and gondolas that carry skiers in the air, there used to be many more slower, ground-based lifts that essentially pulled you up the hill. The J-Bar is basically a vertical pole with a horizontal "seat" that pulls you by the butt as you stand on your skis. The T-Bar is similar, only with "seats" on both sides of the bar (like an upside-down 'T'), so two people can be pulled simultaneously. If an I-Bar were a ski lift, it would have no seat and thus would pull 0 skiers up the hill. Probably not a great design... :)<BR/><BR/>Check out the images here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.skilifts.org/glossary.htm<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15397221.post-33721482242057527652007-07-30T13:10:00.000-04:002007-07-30T13:10:00.000-04:00The absence of the puzzle pic is an oversight.

I don't think she spent any time there not sleeping.<BR/><BR/>Some good words in there today with VAGRANCY and AMETHYST.<BR/><BR/>BETCHA threw me for a loop for a bit there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
