What size snowboard does a 6 foot 3 inch 270 pound guy need?
YOU WOULD NEED A BOARD THAT IS 160 TO 163cm. IN LENGTH
I say nothing less than a 156.. that's if you really wanna get tricky like SSX. 162 or so wouldn't be a bad bet for all around. Also at 270lbs, I would say look into wide decks, they usually fit better for a foot bigger than a 10. And not the most flexy board either, as its gonna flex more for you either way.

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.
