    Is it a thing at ski places to just ride the ski lifts up and down? I have no desire to ski ever, but I’ve always wanted to try one of those things.

      You’re not really supposed to ride them around the wheel at the end

        Depends on the lift, but yeah extra weight on the bullwheel causes excess wear and with the older ones it can really fling you off to the side during that turn. Saw a guy try to ride the bullwheel on a dinosaur of a fixie and it chucked him out of the chair before I could get it stopped.
