As an American, I hadn't heard of a platter lift either. One area I used to ski it had a Poma lift which apparently meets the description. Perhaps whoever chose "platter lift" wished to avoid a trade name.
As mentioned on another response, there are significant differences to the skiers/riders depending on if the lift is a Poma, a T-bar, etc. and the difference is not just the occupancy. They should not be merged into one tag. -Tod On Jan 22, 2014, at 9:06 AM, Philip Barnes wrote: > iD contains a lot of Americanisms. > > Until this discussion I had never heard of a platter lift.
