agree  V&M Stanković: ovo mi izgleda najsigurnije rešenje - bez konteksta, baš zato što “the term ski lift can refer to many different types of uphill transport” ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_lift )

Explanation:
ako je naravno u pitanju sistem ski žičara a ne ski-liftova

Aerial tramway ili aerial tram je uopšteni pojam.

http://website.lineone.net/~polar.publishing/svalbardcoal.ht...
"For nearly 80 years the ropeway network provided a continuous service unaffected by snow and ice, until eventually heavy lorries took over."
(ovde nije bitno što se žičara koristi za transport uglja već sam ovaj link navela zbog izraza 'network')

http://www.slovenia.info/?smucanje=54
Children up to 6 years use ropeways free of charge when accompanied by parents and if not using their own place on the ropeway. Otherwise a lift pass is required.

Izvinjavam se, zaboravila sam da dodam sledeće, stvar je u terminologiji:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_lift
ski-lift na enl. je opšti pojam koji obuhvata i ono što mi zovemo ski-žičara (aerial lifts) i ski-lift (surface lifts). Ako je potrebno da se naglasi da se radi o sistemu žičara (znači ne o sistemu onoga što mi nazivamo ski-liftovima) onda bi bilo bolje koristiti ski ropeway.


Example sentence(s):
  • An aerial tramway is a type of aerial lift, often called a cable car or ropeway, and sometimes incorrectly referred to as a gondola.
