They glossed over the fairly interesting bit about splicing the rope. The splice is hundreds of feet long and takes a bunch of hands to accomplish. Its an old school piece of work.

There's another video I see off the recommends of this one, "Steamboat Gondola Cable Splice" that shows the process pretty well. That process is worthy of a video of it's own.

Watching in 2021, I’m VERY impressed with this video considering this was made 5 years ago and has a ton of drone shots

Honestly it’s one of the best. The terrain is legit.

Mt Bachelor’s entire Operation from marketing themselves all the way to building a chairlift and everything far and in-between just amazes me! Keep up the hard work, and I will continue to support the mountain in any way I can!

Great documentation of the construction! It seems to have really helped out lift lines in a big way. Kudos to Bachelor and Powder.

Wally Kramer In the US it seems like that is true. I think I‘ve only seen 1 6-seater when I was skiing in Utah. 6-8 seaters are kind of normal in Germany/Austria, the big resorts have them everywhere. The resort where I was a week ago has 12 6-seaters and 5 8-seaters

The last thing Bachelor needs is more lifts. They can't even open all the lifts they have now. They should put in night skiing thats what they really need.

American ski resorts: -most expensive ones -the only ones using the cheapest lifts

@aaronkamakaze2967

Жыл бұрын

Colorado and Utah use extremely expensive lifts. Oregon is not as popular and doesn't have as many resorts or skiing tourism as those states so doesn't have the money to spend on gondolas and lifts. Not to mention Bachelor costs about $175 for a 2 day pass, and kids under 12 can ski for free. I can't find any European tickets where kids ski free. And the average cost is 60-80 euros per day while kids average 40-50 euros. For families this mountain is cheaper then most of Europe and it's certainly cheaper then Canada which is more expensive then the US

opening day on dec 15? mustve been a bad year

they should have looked how they build a lift in Europa, its much better and faster...
