“I think we can do one more run before lunch,” says mama. She points at a blue run on the other side of the mountain. “Why don’t we go this one?” You can see the blue line goes through a wide ski slope, then through some trees and back onto another wide slope. “It even has a poma lift. You haven’t used that yet, have you?”

“What’s that?” you ask.

Mama thinks for a moment.

“It’s a bit like a ski lift, but instead of a chair, it’s got a rope with a rubber disk on the end. You put it between your legs and it pulls you up the mountain while you’re on your skis.”

That sounds pretty weird.

“So, does it only do one person?” you ask.

You can’t think of how it could do multiple people like a ski lift.
