Tricks to get on
There are several ways to get on and out of a snowboardlift. Pop is a two-footed jump that's quick and easy. You must time it correctly as you take off.

This is bad news for the people in the back of the lift because you'll be losing all of your landing gear.
To get on the lift, you can also position your back foot slightly in front of the strap. Then, stand up slowly and point your board forward. Due to the friction caused by the snow, you will feel the lift's momentum propelling you forward.
Safety of a lift
The safety bar is an important part of snowboard lift safety. This prevents riders falling off chairlifts. This bar is important because you could end up hitting yourself or another rider. One rule of thumb: Hold the bar with one handed and use the other to support yourself when the lift approaches. It is possible to save your life if you use the safety bars correctly.
You can ensure safety on your snowboard lift ride by paying attention to the operator's instructions. A lift operator will be able to direct you to the appropriate ski or snowboard trail. If the lift operator asks for your snowboard or ski backpack to be removed, you should comply.
