Approach the queue at a slow speed. This is for your dignity and others safety.
Once you've stopped remove your non-leading foot from the binding. Your right foot for regulars and your left for goofy should be out of the binding
While in the line watch other boarders use the T to look for their style of using the T.
Just as the last user gets towed along, step into the path of the T-Bar. Point the nose (front) of the board up the mountain with your foot on the heel side edge of your board. This gives the attendant a place to put the T.
When the attendant pulls down the T-Bar grab the vertical part of the T with your left (regular) or right (goofy) hand. Make sure you hold tightly.
When the T-Bar goes between your legs put your foot slightly in front of the unclipped binding. Now for the fun bit!
Keep the board pointed straight, keep you knees bent slightly, and pretend your snowboarding as normal!
When you reach the end of the T-Bar decide what way you are going to exit. Also make sure you are not going to take out anyone on the way.
Leave the exit as late as possible. When you are ready to leave push the bar out of your legs and carve to a safe spot to bind up and rip up the slopes again!
