Gondola cable snaps

[powdork]

Is Pure Guff trying to freak everyone out about riding lifts this winter?

I think it's fairly obvious he did it, and is trying to throw us off the trail.

It would be pretty simple to but the thermite in a vessel that fits around the cable, or a vessel that sits ontop the cable so it burns down through it. This would also allow the perpetrator to "light the fuse" and get the hell away from the cable before it snaps. Sawing a big ass metal cable under that much tension would be a deathwish.

Every time one these Thermite ideas pops up … I have a feeling I am reading from a lobotomized author

8) Lightening - June 20, 2019. Appears to be on the side of the Squamish Chief or it could be further back, maybe along the gondola line???*

No More Acid for You !

That's a tree >not a hardened steel cable

my Mosin can go through a tree or three

Ever hear of Grounding.. fairly certain the Gondola structure was

Now if someone set a cutting Torch ,and left the scene it is possible to cut

No freaking way some one was near it when it was cut... Any person who knows what it takes to cut a line like that, would never be within 300 yards of it snapping

beware of greeks bearing gifts?

as jong as we are doing the whole conspiracy thing.

The Sun has a well-documented history of funding and supporting third-party militant organizations when it is unable to maneuver against its opposition directly and overtly, or when it benefits from maintaining an appearance of inculpability.

In this case, I would rely on high-confidence intelligence reports that describe a long-standing relationship of The Sun providing resources to The Moon in exchange for sustained operations during the nighttime hours (including the 0400 hours time of incursion).

Additionally, The Sun has previously been witnessed to enlist the aid of more distant, but no less sympathetic, stars in its campaign of destabilization and chaos. Similar to The Moon, these outside antagonists routinely perform wetwork under the cover of nightfall, and may possibly share responsibility for the attack in question.

You leave the moonies out of this.

Until the authorities and pure gravity figure this thing out and tell the public what really happened, I’d advise everyone to not use any gondola or chairlifts this winter in protest and for our own safety.

This whole situation stinks, it’s like an onion. When you peel it sometimes your eyes water a little because the stink stings. But once you get past that and sauté them bitches up, mmm mm they go great on a burger.

LOL. Thanks Apparently, mixing Adderall and Acid, while watching MythBusters is a bad recipe for dry tongue, eventual vitamin deficiencies and ...

But on the lightning front ... Ha!

I suppose this is rare. However, lightning does strike non-grounded objects beside grounded objects, even not-the-nearest objects, and a haul line going 2,000 feet from sea level to mountain alpine might be seen as a good shortcut to home.

Like the report below, the danger is actually from minute flaws in the rope, fused wires, maybe a melted plastic core in one spot, that might, just might, however implausible unless on an Adderall and Acid tripp, cause a future problem.

I'll only be riding on cloudy days from now on. Shouldn't affect things much here in the PNW.

[From_the_NEK]

That's the problem with the sun, it's an unpredictable rogue element. We need its light for Vitamin D synthesis, but it cases sunburns. We need its radiation for photosynthesis, but it causes cancer. We gotta have it to tell the ski lifts when to open, but then it starts chopping down our gondolas.

The sun is at once both a powerful ally and duplicitous traitor; a destabilizing guerilla force and only in this war for itself.

We better nuke it from orbit. Just to be safe!

So you've never used a cutting torch, then it's ok to sound dumb

[k2skier112]

That's fucking amazing

[powdrhound]

That's fucking amazing

I’m trying to come up with a reason to need one. That looks fun.

[pureantigravity]

so I'm thinking that lift was not that old, It would have been inspected BUT they did just add 10 gondola's in may

How could adding 10 gondolas compromise the rope or contribute to this in any way?

You see, by adding the 10 newly-forged gondolas to the cable, the total weight of the entire system was thrown out of balance. The great gondola lift of Squamish had now become too powerful in it's ability to transport even the heaviest North American up the mountainside. And when the system was thrown off balance, the great spirit of the lift became poisoned. Our Mother Earth sensed this great upsetting of the cables, and thus gathered storm clouds from across the ocean to it's shore. Upon that night, a great front brewed in opposition against this machination of man. The wind rushed forth onto the mountain, and the fury of the heavens wrought destruction along the mountainside. With one final burst, the steel cables that had borne many a-traveler came crashing down. Sounds of destruction echoed across the valley, and to the people of Squamish it was audible evidence that something terrible had happened on that fateful night.

Amen.

And that right there closes the book on this important thread. Consider this one solved.

It is starting to sink in. There are scummy people that do these sorts of things.

For whatever reason, it is unconscionable to disrupt and possibly harm people for what amounts to a small slice of land up a mountain - especially in a place like Canada where 99% of the land is wild and untouched.

I'm really surprised actually - they even got Ed Cooper, one of the first two to climb the Squamish Chief on a petition, claiming that the 20 meter wide track of land up the mountain is an 'atrocity'.

https://friendsofthesquamishchief.wo.../your-stories/

I g.e.t. i.t. ... some people want everything wild and free - but they still want their cars and all.
They live in nice houses ... and complain about frog habitats and yet they wouldn't lift a finger to do any actual remediation in nature.
All the while, other people want jobs and improvements, they even live in the wilderness and appreciate it daily, and this is the LEAST of their concerns.

I'll say, this is NOT an atrocity. Jews being killed by the millions for no reason, that is an atrocity.
A gondola up a mountainside on the perimeter of a town ...
that's a tourism business.

It is crazy really.
I hope they catch the perp(s).
Motherfuckers.
