How does a ski lift go slower at the top without slowing down the other cars?
These type of chair lifts are called high speed lifts, or detachable cables. Basically when the chair comes into the housing unit at the top or bottom the chair detaches from the cable so it can slowly move for loading and unloading. Then when it is about to leave the housing at the top or bottom it reconnects and zooms back to speed. The cable runs through a maze of pulleys so the chair can reattach back at the same spot.

What rechargeable battery does the Burton audex cargo jacket use?
This was bothering me, too! So I decided to take apart the battery that's in the jacket - risky because I only have one and didn't want to ruin it!
The battery has the code SNN5766A written on it which, as far as I can tell is also known as the BT50.
I have the down jacket that has the controller on the left forearm, speakers in the collar and bluetooth facility.
I hope that this helps someone.

You can somewhat forget to snowboard over the summer since you aren't able to since there's no snow. But a good way to keep your skills for the most part is to try skateboarding if you haven't yet. It's close to snowboarding and gives you something closely related to do other than it's not on snow.
