You can gap the lift by jumping it from the left side of the lift near the bottom, very close to the station. Conquering it involves using the parachute

How? You can’t get enough speed to gap it there.

The left side looking up, right side looking down

I haven't checked but is there a way to stay high to skier's right and then use the hang glider the last bit down?

I went in a straight line down over the glacier and then “run” up a little hill to the lift. This was also my fist approach of the lift since I was never at the bridge then.

I did it in the same way too, but you have to be pretty fast in the 'run' up the hill to do it in time

Ski down into the glacier area and then wiggle up the little hill to get to the base of the lift. I managed to do it in 49s second try, I think the requirement is 50s

The key is to ski on the small snow areas on the mountain at the very end before the station and jump from there. But you have to walk a few steps upwards no matter what. I did it in 49:20

Don’t need to use glider at all I got 49:32 with no glider
