Ha ha I found this by me:

Ski Bowl Liftline Pitch

The Ski Bowl liftline is second only to Rumor in steepness? How could that be?

Not sure where I got the info.

That old Plattekill T-bar was legit. That's gotta be a steeper run than the Ski Bowl I'd think.

Edit, x1000 already mentioned that on the last page.

Never gonna happen. Ever try one with a snowboard? And, notice how many snowboarders on the mountain these days.

Some of the biggest areas have T-Bars, even Whistler-Blackcomb, Panorama has one too(or used to anyway).

Apparently snowboarders in Australia manage to deal with T-bars.

Not easy but can be done, I found it would cause cramping due to being half twisted trying to get my butt to stay on the seat.

There’s no seats on a T-bar, just sayin.
There’s big springs though to make things squirrelier.
Never saw folks with a dang board try it.

The Ausies are a tougher breed than the American majority. Americans like to complain about everything and have soft, tiny hands

That there sounds as if it could be considered to be dang racist.
Ya really don’t need hands much on a T-bar.
Just hook yer arm around the pipe and away ya go. No hands needed except to hold onto your poles.
Dang boarders don’t usually use poles. But you knew that.
