An open chairlift run. These have one or more seats or benches and are open to the outside air – sometimes having a bubble protecting only a part of the body. Beginners may struggle to get off them without making a fool of themselves!
This is just one classification among several cable/wire based lifts/transportation types listed under Key:aerialway. See also WikiProject Piste Maps
How to map
Draw a way
along the route of the cable, and set this aerialway= tag on this way.
This implies oneway=yes (drawn upward). Any two-way chairlifts should be tagged oneway=no.

Additional features
Position nodes
at either end of the cable. These nodes might be tagged with aerialway=station
If you know the position you can also map support pylons by positioning nodes
in the middle of the way, with the tag aerialway=pylon.
