The Wire Rope Is Also At The Top

The motor room made it to the Summit last night and the wire rope made it up today. Both traveled on the crawler. The wire rope is on a very large spool just like a spool of thread. The motor room is now set on its towers. It still needs its glass and a few more parts. These two items are the heaviest parts of the lift. Both are very difficult to move through rugged terrain. As many of you know, our summer service road is a pretty tough drive. That drive becomes incredibly difficult once it has snow on it. Needless to say, I heaved a great sigh of relief once I knew these pieces were on the top before we receive significant snowfall.
