Does anyone share my fear/borderline phobia of chair lifts?
If so, how do you get over it?
I sing to myself with my eyes shut, but that only works if I am on a chair with someone I know that will nudge me at the right time to open my eyes and get off...
Anyone scared of chair lifts?

good point, but I do love skiing really and the chair lift is a means to a (hopefully) good end. Shame they aren't a few feet nearer the ground tho :)

Are you sure skiing is the right recreational sport for you, Hun?
Really not being mean but for me, being on the chairlift is a time to regroup and just enjoy being on a mountain...
Now, getting off the other end and sliding down a precipice on two planks of plastic is another matter...
THOSE people are crazy.

I'm not phobic but I avoid them when I can as they exacerbate an injury of mine. Ski in scandinavia! It's more usual to find t-bars than chairs. -)

T-bars?!? God, no! Loathe the things! Was last on them at the Zermatt glacier and battled long and hard with the bloke on the other side....
Shame he was Mr P, but you can't win 'em all :0)
