Back in July I did a post about removing the "Old 105 Tower." It has found its third home. Its first home was a chairlift, although I am not sure which one. It possibly came from old Lenawee Chair when it was retrofitted about 1980. The tower was added to the East Wall Avalauncher Tower. For good safety reasons these days, snow safety workers need to fire the avalauncher from behind a blast shield. The double tower set up gives them a chance to work more efficiently. Staff can go from the blast shield to avalauncher directly, eliminating up climbing and down climbing for every single shot. The benefit is less time walking and climbing and more time actually doing avalanche work.
