History

SORT’s roots originated in 1999 with Bill Wolf's creation of nwskilifts.com. That website evolved into skilifts.org. Industry only forums were established by the moderators and administrators. The Society of Ropeway Technicians was developed to better facilitate and recognize common goals represented by ropeway industry members.

SORT gratefully acknowledges the contributions of John, Jimmie, Alan, Jonnie, Cameron and of course Bill.
