Subject: QUERY: poma lift



At Rocky Mt. ski resorts I remember a sort of ski lift, what some

dictionaries call a surface lift, that the skier straddles while being

dragged on skis up the mountain. I don't find the term poma lift

(pronounced as if spelled pomma) in any dictionary, unless I'm spelling i=

t

wrong. Can anyone tell me if this is a trademark, or if not, what its

derivation is?



Thanks,
