Systems and methods for improved operations of ski lifts increase skier safety at on-boarding and off-boarding locations by providing an always-on, always-alert system that “watches” these locations, identifies developing problem situations, and initiates mitigation actions. One or more video cameras feed live video to a video processing module. The video processing module feeds resulting sequences of images to an artificial intelligence (AI) engine. The AI engine makes an inference regarding existence of a potential problem situation based on the sequence of images. This inference is fed to an inference processing module, which determines if the inference processing module should send an alert or interact with the lift motor controller to slow or stop the lift.

A chair for chairlifts includes a pivotal installation that can pivot into a closed position and an open position, a locking element of the installation, and a blocking element for the locking element. The blocking element is movable into a blocking position and into a releasing position. A control element allows the blocking element to be moved from the blocking position and the installation to be opened. A chairlift and a method for activating a pivotable installation are also provided.
