The "Sugarbush Thread"

[Newpylong]

Depression sheaves are under significant stress, it's possible the bushing or a bearing went bad on that tower.

They were working on it until pretty late tonight...

Not much happening today, at least not on the tower. Maybe in the shop.

How do they get the cable off a hold-down sheave train? I know for normal ones they use the lifting frame on top of the tower. Compression towers must be tough

I'm on the injured reserve, but man just hearing about the lift issues sounds rough. GMX and NR down? To get to Summit from Inverness you have to hike up Northway? Oof.

Add in Super Bravo. Not ideal.

Wow.... lucky this didn't happen last week.
