    Ha! That thing's awesome!

    How much do you figure it'll end up weighing?

    Does that sort of thing need a semi flat road bed? Or can it just kinda churn through variable terrain?

    Weight will probably be 2,000lbs? Not sure.

    It doesn’t need a flat road bed. Won’t climb like a sled but intent is snow covered mountain roads and Nordic grooming.

    Justin and Jessica moved out. Said they were sick of dealing with the dickheads.

    What a painful place that must be. I can’t imagine working in the service industry there.

    Anyone here do IG?

    There is a video of Big Sky flying lift towers today. Evidently there is a mistake and they drop a sheave assembly. It lands on a PU truck.

    Perhaps someone can post a workable link for the hilarity.

    Thanks anyway, no IG account and not about to start. It will emerge eventually.

    Lift Blog has it now.

    I saw a sandbag that was balancing an asymmetric crossarm fall during a lift install years ago in Vermont; that was sufficiently scary and it wasn't even near me. The mandatory hard hat didn't seem likely to help much.

    Also, while I recognize this is news because it's rare, I still think the people climbing towers to guide in and bolt on crossarms are at least a little nuts.

    Looks like they took it down? Big Sky threatening legal action? Lol. I saw the IG post on IgnoreBigSky. Glad nobody was hurt. Shit happens.

    That might take a while to replace. I'm guessing it's not just off the shelf parts. I suppose you could get everything else ready, but you can't pull the cable until that is in place again. Correct?

    More than a little. The completion of flying towers was usually followed by copious consumption of solvents.

    Snowbird dropped their shiny new team car during install as well, and totaled it.

    Don't stand (or park) under the load.

    Hopefully those poor bastards got the day off after that rodeo.
