I'm going to Ober Gatlinburg in a week with my church group. I am really afraid of heights. We are going to ski ( which I have never done before.), ice skating ( never done that either), and other things. We have to go on the chair lift and I am so scared. What is it like? Is any of this hard? Any tips? Help!
Oh, the chairlift Its not that bad. Think of it like a little ride, and Ive never been on one that's gone that high. You want to know what's scary? Taking a six and a seven year old on a chairlift when THEY have never been skiing.
ha no. it's really not bad. there's like hardly any way you can fall off unless you deliberately force yourself to. it's like being in a convertible car cept you're in the air. don't worry bout it ;]
You just sit down when the chair gets to you and pull the guard down and up the mountian you go. It's fun.........
make sure you go on the chair lift with a friend... Its like riding in a car.... skating is just like roller skating.... you will have a ball... good luck Grant M in Pennsylvania
Don't worry about it. I just went skiing with my school yesterday. It was amazing. Don't worry about the chairlifts. All you do is stand in front of the lift, it then hits your legs softly and you sit on the chair. It then takes off slowly and you put down your safety bar. When you reach the place you get off, you wait till the floor comes up, put your feet on the floor and stand. The lift pushes you just a bit , and you slide down. That is all it takes. Trust me, it is no big deal. I was super scared my first time, now I love chair lifts and i'm not scared of them anymore. Have fun !
