Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

or boarders it seem doing it the 'wrong' way is best. I don't board myself but skied with a few and experienced T-bar boarders always recommended timmid ones leave 1 foot in - but not the one they would naturally leave in (back?). Then it's T between legs and ride side-saddle.
Eh, that makes no sense, even for a skier.
Ok, They're a PITA but not rocket science - and no real different to a Poma. Front foot in, facing in direction of travel, prong of your side of the T goes in between your legs, hooked behind your front leg. Put a little bit of weight towards the back, with your rear free foot on the board by the rear binding, grip the shaft of the T, relax into it and you're off. Sure you're being hauled up a mountain by your genitals, but hey, up is up.
I wasn't paying too much attention but can remember the ripple of advice going through the boarders in the group, with the conversation usually running "I hate T-bars", "Try unclipping the other foot" at the bottom and "Oh, that was much easier" at the top. They may have said more but as a skier I'd have been either half way up the lift or down the next slope while they stopped to faff

Oh, Touché.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

My top tip for T-bars is don't try and do what my son did. Despite me having told him how to use it he decided to ride it as if it was a button lift with his legs either side of the central pole.
Made dismounting at the top rather difficult!
