CROW'S NEST: JACKSON HOLE TRAM

Спорт

"It's only visible if you know it's there." Watch a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to run Jackson Hole Mountain Resort's iconic Aerial Tram. Head Tram Mechanic Mike Vase and his team of tram mechanics take you on a journey high above Big Red and into the "crow's nest", soaring countless vertical feet on a daily basis and further cementing their status as the unsung heroes of the Jackson Hole Tram.

    I used to do that too, also as a tram mechanic. On the original tram and it's first replacement. Still have a few Frey AG Stans embossed Swiss army knives from then. Many years ago though, probably before these workers were even born. Nice video.
