enjoralas Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 I really can't figure out where they are at with progress on this. On one hand, they don't have a lower house or any towers erected (huhhuh) that we can see. But on the other hand, they already have the traditional Six Pack Lake in place.

toast21602 Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Still disappointed by the lack of updates. You would think that would generate excitement and free marketing, but here we are sitting in the dark again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably cant actually erect anything on them until the concrete cures. But, at the same time, stations are where i would imagine the load being pulled from, like i mean the haul line gets tensioned from those 2, so like they are almost like trying to pull the footers out of the ground. i would think the load on the tower footers is really pretty much just straight down. I would have thought the top and bottom footers would have been poured first, but who knows. it looks like the pad behind the shed is where the counter weight would go, so, maybe thats the really important piece to that puzzle.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 Wow just wow Jackson hole even updates their lift construction status on Facebook. I’ll check Blues page to see if there are any updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFskiDan Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 Even JFBB has a vid on FB about their new lifts. FYI, all of the chairs at JFBB sold. They dont have any left that are "going quickly". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) Did JFBB put the towers in yet? I've resigned myself to the fact that the summit safari extreme deluxe whatever won't be ready for the start of ski season.

I think as long as all the concrete gets in the ground here in the next week or two, it will be good to go. Its not like we are gonna be skiing next month.
