Bar? Hell, I do this with my kid now. The bar is on those fancy lifts at those fancy resorts.

When I was about 13 my family went skiing at Snowbird. They put me in/permitted me to go in a chairlift by myself, which I believe did not have a bar. Suddenly the lift stopped, causing my chair to sway back and forth. With my nylon ski pants on I slid forward so that my butt was barely still on the edge of the chair and I was barely able to pull myself back on. The chair was waaay up there. To this day, many many years later, I still scare myself thinking about it.

I fell off one when I was about that same age. It was early morning and there was plenty of frost on the seat. I just slipped right off when the seat did an ever-so-slight swaying motion. Luckily it wasn’t high off the ground at that point and there was plenty of fluffy stuff under me.

The real key to keeping your kid on the ski-lift is fear, so they white-knuckle clutch at the armrest the entire trip.
