Reimagining chairlift safety
for the modern mountain.
AI computer-vision systems that monitor chairlift operations and bolster mountain safety — every chair, every ride.
Built by the team behind 100,000+ automated vision systems in manufacturing, logistics, security and robotics.
Human oversight has limits.
Liability doesn’t.
Catching an unseated passenger as it’s happening — and confirming restraint bars are down — is essential to responsible mountain operations. Manual observation falls short during high-traffic periods, and a single missed event can mean serious injury and seven-figure liability.
Three steps from camera feed to defensible safety record.
Detect
Vision models watch every chair from your existing cameras — even live YouTube feeds — identifying unseated passengers and restraint-bar position in real time.
Alert
The system alerts lift operators the moment it detects an unsafe situation, giving them critical seconds to stop the lift before an incident occurs.
Document
Every event is logged with timestamped imagery — a defensible safety record that protects operators and gives mountain management real data on lift throughput and safety trends.
See every chair. Catch every miss.
The operator dashboard runs in any browser at the load station. A live bar-down rate, per-chair counts, throughput, and frame-level flagging — so a missed bar isn’t a phone call, it’s a notification.
- • Real-time bar-down compliance per lift
- • SAFE / UNSAFE counts updated every frame
- • Chair-throughput metric for ops planning
- • One-click frame flagging for incident review
Uses new or existing cameras
Bar-Down.AI can run on the surveillance feed your resort is already capturing. In some cases, no new hardware to spec, no cable trenches, no winter installs. If no existing camera is available, installation is available.
Bar-Down.AIOne system. Four wins for mountain ops.
Increased Safety
Assist lift operators and guests the moment a bar isn’t down or a passenger isn’t seated properly — every chair, every ride.
Reduced liability
Mitigate operational risk with a defensible, timestamped safety record for every lift event.
Data insights
Turn raw monitoring into strategic insight — track safety trends, lift utilization, and bottlenecks across the season.
Stewardship
Built with a deep understanding of mountain culture — technology that assists lift crews, not replaces them.
Catch the next chair before it leaves the terminal.
