^^^yeah, not like it was safe before and you got 5 more strands before haul line fail.
I would be interested to know if the chair leveraged the strand to shear it or if chair somehow forced all the load of the lift onto the one strand and it broke? I would have thought it would be almost impossible to overload.
I had no idea they could replace just one strand, hard to picture the mechanics/physics of that.

And it will be a double splice, right? Sounds exciting.

If its only one strand of a 6-19 haul rope that is damaged, you cut back the single stand from the damaged area. The single strand can them be splice in with multiple wraps in both directions from the damaged area. The diameter of the haul rope, total length of the continuous loop, and rated load determine the number of wraps/distance of the splice.

The bowl installed a "new" center bar riblet this summer that is the same as the one that broke. I bet they have some leftover cable.

How do you fix a partially sheared lift cable?
That guy is a complete asshole. I am a fairly mild mannered guy, but I had numerous shouting matches with that dick. So glad I don’t have to ski Snowbowl anymore.

I don't know what the terrain is for that lift, but hopefully theres somewhere relatively flat. They'll move the affected stretch around to the best terrain to work on, lower the haul rope to the ground off a couple towers, splooch the cable with two wire clamps pulling together to get the clips off for a number of carriers, and hopefully find the same wire with enough length then cut the damaged twist out, tuck, and splice the whole thing.
This happened at a ski area I know of to start of a 12' in two week storm cycle, they did not finish in a timely manner

They don't really say how, but they have some sort of a plan.

Some dude in the parking lot yesterday was saying they were just gonna re-splice and leave that chair off, and start today, but um, no?
That's nice that they got the right tool in place now (that's also what it's called when I get to sit by the fire and drink bloodies. badump bump.)
