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

I love the knowledge of youtube commenters. That last video someone stated very knowledgably that the lift is in LDA. Or is it the Leissiers Express in Val D?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Looks like the one in Val D to me.
The lift passes over the summit, doesn't stop but and descends on the other side. The moment of pass the summit is a rare sensation of plunging down hundreds of feet.
The video can not reproduce this scary moment. Go out to experience it yourself. Espace Killy, Val D'Isere, Chairlift Leissieres refers

Remind me not to ever do that Val D lift  Would a lift be rendered less scarey if you shut your eyes?

I think the scary bit comes from the lack of prior/regular experience.
When one is hoisted upward one is seldom dropped downward in the same move, unless one is on a roller coaster.
On one side a person is getting closer and closer with the mountain but overshooting the summit he/she is suddenly a few hundred feet apart from the same mountain. Can't think of a situation that produce a similar experience.

Looks a bit lame to me on that video, now the real 'scary chare' is the one in ADH that goes under the runway and across to the 'signal' sector - the feeling you get when you drop down the side of the sarenne gorge is erm... particularly if you don't do heights..

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I take it there are no chairs like this in Val Thorens?

What happened to the kid? Why hell did he squirm like that, and why didn't they just manually roll the chair in :s
As for the chairlift, why is it scary? Seems fine to me :/ The video of the guy supermanning off teh grind box is hilarious
