Rope tows are often used on beginner ski slopes. When you use a ski rope tow, you will be pulled up the slope by your arms while standing on your skis. You will stand in a line, and when it is your turn, grab the knot as it approaches you. Lean back slightly as you grab the rope. Hold on to the rope, and let it pull you up the hill.
A variation of the ski tow is the pommel tow. A pommel tow has plastic plate that you put between your legs to drag you uphill on the snow.
