i’m not sure there are any tbh. when i was working at the ski area we really wished the customers knew more about how the lifts worked.
i guess the closest thing to a secret would be that if you end up working at the top of a lift and you don’t have skis or a board you get to ride the lift back down (at least at the ski hill i worked at)
we don’t let customers do this except on accident tho because the lift really isn’t built to have a load on the downhill side. all the brakes are set to to keep it from going backwards
