Storm Recovery Mode at Mt Bachelor

[@von...]

dude its so wild to see 10 year old comments. Do you think they thought about the fact that we could be here a decade later reading what they said?

[@Chris-gj3hh]

Did u think I’d respond to this in a year

[@von...]

@@Chris-gj3hh no, but I am happy you did :)

Hello

[@supercarnitas]

Yes

[@ashansley5731]

just about a daily necessity at Turoa Skifield New Zealand as the weather is straight off the sea - the De-icing crew are some of the first ones heading up in the morning. Winter storm ice frequently bought down cables off the T bar lifts, and detachable chairs are now removed prior to the storm (though we did not have such a thing in my days on the hill). Made for exciting times and stories - sure miss those days.

Great video!

[@scottcollis1123]

Remake it again! Use some of this vintage video

[@Icednatcchiato]

I haven't made it up yet this season, thanks for keeping the mountain in good condition.

[@matthewcampbell3501]

Wow that's a lot of work, although it seems like life would be a lot easier for mechanics if they added chair parking for those two

[@csabasipos6525]

Yep. I am not sure if I have ever seen a detachable chairlift without parking in western-europe. Especially leaving the chairs out in a storm like this... Not just the ice, but the wind load as well.

[@phoenixbloomfield9472]

Yeah, a lot of areas have parking for the chairs and leave the lift running without chairs through the storm which prevents ice buildup and freezing of the sheaves and terminal equipment.

IDK - clearing that ice off the mast was so satisfying - even just watching it!

[@juanarmas6070]

ES ADMIRABLE SU TRABAJO!!!👏 MMM AQUÍ EN MÉXICO PIENSO Q EN TAL CIRCUNSTANCIA ESPERAN A Q SE DESCONGELE!!👏 ...X ESO NO AVANZAMOS!!👏

[@PowderMonkey4Life]

thanks for ACTUALLY working. I and ever other season pass holder is amazed you might give us what we pay for.

[@crimpslap]

Wow, thank you so much for your hard work!

[@outdoorsguy]

5:30 was oddly satisfying to watch.

[@ganonmorrisee6161]

Why r there no gondolas at such a gnarly mountain?!?

[@ben3359]

Gondolas are way more expensive and there isnt the demand for such high capacity lifts in the far reaches of the mountain

[@JMcKaySV]

all that work for $16 an hour... ski resort life

[@travisk5589]

You say this as if 20 year olds are worth more than $10 an hour

[@SolaceEasy]

Hurry up! Skiing Rime is The Sh!t. First Tracks!

[@TheMad12312]

Many Thanks!

[@chriskendra7776]

What about something like a heat gun to get the ice off?

[@ben3359]

Damage to the metal

[@bryceyoungson5056]

Dude at 1:00 shoulda been wearing a helmet

[@johnyoung2544]

lucky guys you work on the dry side you don't call that ice do you? T-Line

[@JV-qj5jm]

It's nice to stack the chairs on palmer and the mile and put on the night drive huh ?

[@JV-qj5jm]

You probably don't remember me but I worked with you up there 20 years ago . Hope all is well John .

[@iconiclernz2580]

I feel like they could cover the chairs and see things with the amount of money not wasted but wasted In Labor cleaning them off.

[@mitchellgiebler3396]

Piss poor engineering, you would think if they designed something to be run in the winter they would design it to be impervious to the effects of inclement weather regardless of the severity; aka heated cable and towers!

[@juliezaremskiy3635]

Do you have any idea how expensive and impractical that would be? Even with a heated cable it won't work because it will still find a way to freeze over between spans

[@littlekenny8411]

They did design it to be impervious. It's a detatch able quad chairlift. The chairs should be racked off every night/wind hold/blizzard - they just didn't do that. This video shows the consequences.
