What a twist! I’ve been a ski instructor for 4 years at a mountain in Central New York and my father has been doing it for over 17 years. I’m definitely gonna share this video with him!

Amazing, I did not know that! Thanks to you, I now know another thing! The other ideas to get up the hill, I would never take those.

Thanks Miles... We probably should have mentioned that the tow rope does have a version of it still in practice... but usually only found on the "bunny hills" or the smaller runs at ski locations.

The New Haven and the New York Central both ran trains to ski resorts during the winter. And if I think the Burlington with the Rio Grande.

I’ve lived in Omaha, NE all my life, and I can confirm that there aren’t any ski slopes here. (At least from what I’ve seen.)

Ski resorts make money by selling gravitational potential energy.
