Button/poma lifts
By Liz Hunt, Daily Mail
A lift operator will usually hand you the poma - which is a plastic disc on a stick attached to an overhead wire - or you select one from the pool of pomas.
With your sticks in your inside hand, grasp the shaft with your outside hand and position the poma between your legs.
Shuffle forward and be prepared for the sudden jerk in your nether regions as you start - this is the point at which most people fall off
Pros: An easy way to get yourself around a resort - and, if the weather is good, a chance to boost your suntan.
Cons: Can be uncomfortable on very steep parts of the slope. On the flat bits, it is easy to accidentally lose hold of the poma and find yourself at a standstill.
Several opportunities for a red face: failing to position the poma correctly between your legs; losing the poma and not letting go so you're dragged up the slope by your arms; crossing your skis at the bottom or top of the lift and falling flat; losing the poma on a steep bit of the slope and falling off.
Tip: Don't sit down on the poma - it is not a seat and if you treat it like one, you won't make much progress.

Odin, Scarpa, Certainly not on honeymoon - although was a close thing when the cat jumped onto bed when we got home!

Odin,
I'll avoid the obvious joke
No the cat jumped (claws out) on my nether regions, which didn't add to the mood - although would for some people I'm sure
