Ski Lifts - What’s Moving You Along?
Those of us who enjoy going out to the slopes regularly every winter, will have spent a lot of time going up on the many lifts at the hill. Whether you take the T-bar or the chair, the odds are pretty good that you have spent a few minutes looking up as the poles go by and thinking about what exactly it is that is moving you along. You might have even noticed the wire rope and sheaf systems as you go alongside; depending on the speed and length of the lift, you probably have had more time to notice these features than you would have liked.
Ski lifts are actually fairly simple machines in nature, although in order to successfully run one the hills cannot afford to take any short cuts. The continuous wire ropes that the chairs hook on to are pulled through sets of sheaves at regular intervals, the whole process driven by a big motor usually located at the base of the lift.
Obviously, the sheaves that the wire rope runs through are the critical elements when it comes to the proper functioning of the lift, both in terms of safety and expedient delivery. An individual sheaf must be hardy and wear well, or the whole system may be compromised.
Generally, top of the line sheaves used to run the high end, high performance, high speed lifts are manufactured of cold formed steel and include self lubricating bushings. This type of bushing assists in keeping the maintenance of the sheaf up without too much manual attention.
It stands to reason that the functioning, moving parts of the lift, the sheaves and rope, are the most likely items to need replacing on these units, and it is important for the operators of the ski hill to find a good balance between quality and cost. The harsh conditions that this equipment is subjected to up on the hill also take their toll, so ski resort developers are very particular when it comes to finding the right wire ropes and sheaves for their mountains.

KidSki Kid-Ski Wedge Ski Lock (ages 2-5) $17.95 The Wedge Lock is a spacer bar that holds a childs ski boots apart, while the Tip Lock holds the ski tips together, thus locking a child into the stable wedge position. The bar connects/disconnects very easily with one click of a buckle on each of the boot straps. The Wedge Lock allows parents to use a Ski Leash 1-2 years earlier than otherwise. It also allows kids to ski independently from a Ski Leash at an earlier age, since the locked-in wedge position will help control both their stability and their speed. In a balanced wedge, since the skis are already on edge, a small shift of body weight to either ski, whether intended or not, will automatically initiate a turn. This allows a child to pick up quickly the feel for turning skis. A Wedge Lock must be used with a Tip Lock - never by itself. |

KidSki Kid-Ski Universal Ski Tip Lock (ages 1-6 $17.95 The Universal Tip Lock is the long-awaited, exciting new KID-SKI product for 2006-07. It connects the ski tips together to keep them from wandering, thus offering a child more stability. Equally important, it helps kids maintain a wedge position, and the wedge is the easiest way for a young child to learn to ski - even with the new shaped skis. The new transferable Universal Tip Lock is now the state-of-the-art product for parents of kids to easily connect and disconnect the ski tips. Simply slide the aluminum mini-clamps onto the edge of the ski tips and flip the plastic cam levers closed. Thats it! To remove it, just pop open the levers, and its off. The small, lightweight Tip Lock II easily stores in a parka pocket. The Tip Lock is very light weight and low profile. There is no need to remove the Tip Lock from the skis after each outing. Just leave it on for the entire winter. Also, the Tip Lock makes a wonderful carrying device, even after a child graduates off the Tip Lock. For you multi-kid parents, you can carry 2-3 pairs of skis in one hand. Its worth the purchase price just as a carrying device. The Tip Lock will work on any childrens ski - plastic training skis, old-style straight skis and shaped/parabolic skis. USERS of PLASTIC SKIS: If you want to use the Universal Tip Lock with the Kid-Ski plastic skis weve included some "Tip Lock self-adhesive tape" to make the ski tip slightly thicker (as the plastic skis are thinner than regular skis). |

KidSki Kid-Ski HBar - 1 Piece $29.95 With the Kiddie Ski Bar, you parents can now teach your children to ski only 2-3 months after they learn to walk by giving them lots of slide-time in their first winter. It gives stability to child and control to parent. You can push, pull, twist, tilt, lift, even pick-up and carry your child if s/he starts to lose balance. A great place to introduce your toddler (and yourself) to the Kiddie Ski Bar is on the playroom rug. Make carpet skiing a fun game, so when you hit the slopes, the activity is second nature for both you and your child. And, carpet skiing counts toward slide-time. For all ages 1-8, the Kiddie Ski Bar also makes a great towing device for backyard ski-sliding. With child in tow, take walks in your backyard, on snow-covered golf courses, cross-country trails, frozen lakes, city parks, or wooded trails. On grass, a child needs only a ½ inch of snow to slide on skis. A note of caution: Always use the Kiddie Ski Bar with the Tip Lock (even when carpet skiing), as well as with the Kiddie Lift. You should be better than an intermediate skier to ski with a child on the Kiddie Ski Bar. Due to the size of the HBar we are unable to ship this to countries outside of the US and Canada. |
