0 a ski lift (= a machine that carries people on skis to the top of a slope) with a T-shaped seat that you sit on with your skis on the ground, so you are pulled up the slope, also used to refer to the T-shaped seat itself:
You have to take the T-bar to get to the hut.
Once the T-bar lift was invented, it was possible to get to runs in half a minute, when it had previously taken a twenty-minute climb.
