Use caution when exiting

Ski school students are protected from the elements as they ride up the "magic carpet" through this artificial tunnel.

  1. As one who learned to ski with lace-up ski boots, rope tows, T-bars, etc. I find this technology fascinating! I like your angle on this shot as they emerge from the tunnel.

  2. I love the mountains in the background. I learned to ski with lifts, not magic carpets. Those are COOL!

  6. Again, another creative take on the theme. I learned to ski at Arapaho Basin and they didn't have sides on their magic carpet. So needlas to say, every time the alarm went off and they had to shut down the carpet it was because I slid off the side - so embaressing! Thanks for bringing back plesant memories LOL!

  9. I've never seen such a thing! What a cool idea! Good for people with fear of heights. The chair lift always gives me a cause to pause lol

  10. People expect that when they choose the Rocky Mountains as the venue for their winter sport they will be protected from the elements? Now I've seen just about everything...

  11. What will they think of next?? I bet the trend of having covered magic carpets started in Japan. I went to an indoor beach in Japan once!
