longest lift
editDeleted the part about the longest t-bar lift. 15km long and 5 km drop height sounds incedible. no reference 99.141.74.68 (talk) 02:34, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
Naming conventions
editIn Australian resorts, the Poma is officially termed a "J-Bar" In Europe they are often called "drag lifts" (at leased by the british who ski there) should be included as it is fairly comon.
- The type of lifts are drag lifts (aka surface lifts), the J-bar here is not used anymore, and have been replaced by T-bar types. In most of Europe, atleast at th resorts I have been to, they're called button lifts 85.226.175.74 (talk) 16:03, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Snowboarders
editBased on my (limited) experience in New Zealand, snowboarders hold the "Poma" under their rear arm. Never saw anyone place it under their legs. These were a retractable style fixed Pomas. I updated the main article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.61.3.10 (talk) 05:40, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Weird inconsistency in text.
editIn the first line, it says that a platter lift is known as a poma in Europe. In the 2nd paragraph, it says that a platter lift and a poma lift are very different types of lift. At that point, I'm lost. I have no clue what bit of text refers to what lift since they are supposed to be the same kind of lift.
And I don't understand what's the difference between this and a ski tow - or are those synonyms?

- Yep, that's the result of editing by committee. It was a unified and clear article before the last few edits. When I have time, I'll straighten it out. —EncMstr (talk) 23:49, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
- I put up a Template:Contradict tag for this. Listroiderbobtalk'tribs▆ 18:26, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
J-bar?
editWhat's the difference between this and a J-bar lift? I see none. I think these articles should be merged. Nazgul02 (talk) 17:47, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
Poma lift?
editFirst, it's not just common in North America but also widespread in France, where the company is based. Second, another important company making those lifts is Gimar Montaz Mautino (founded by an ex-employee of Poma).
With the increase of snowboarding, platter lifts are increasingly replaced by chair lifts. --Tobias b köhler (talk) 12:17, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
