New Reciprocating Descender Promises To Lower Chairlift Evacuees With Minimal Handling & Time

“The SOVAR is a back-and-forth descent, which allows several people to descend on ropes at a time. A crucial element when carrying out a quick and effective public evacuation operation.”

Some people dread having to be evacuated from chairlifts while others actually seek out the experience and willingly volunteer to participate in ski patrol drills (maybe the free lunch and lift ticket are the real motivator). Wherever you land on the spectrum, you might find this new bit of technology by TAZ interesting as their SOVAR reciprocating descender promises to lower people with a minimal of handling and time. Pretty neat. Any ski patrollers interested in more information about the SOVAR please GO HERE:
