Tirolesa
This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for November 12, 2009
tirolesa (feminine noun (la)) — zip-line, zip wire, tyrolean crossing. Look up tirolesa in the dictionary Ese parque tiene una tirolesa muy alta y larga. That park has a really long, high zip-line.

Zip-line and zip-wire sí conozco, pero "Tyrolean crossing" no.

Apparently, you can also call it an aerial runway, aerial ropeslide, flying fox, or a death slide in English. In Spanish, you can also call it a tirolina.

Para mí una tirolesa es una mujer natural del Tirol. Tampoco conozco las palabras en inglés.

Is this also known as a ski lift in English?

Ah - I've heard of one of those. The example given was incomprehensible:
That park has a really long, high zip-line. We have plenty of parks in England, none of which as far as I know has anything to do with zips or ski-lifts. |

A ski lift takes you up in an open car hanging from a cable, a zip line takes you down, hanging in a harness from a cable.
