Cloudchaser | The Story Behind Building A New Lift 

There's another video I see off the recommends of this one, "Steamboat Gondola Cable Splice" that shows the process pretty well. That process is worthy of a video of it's own.

Yes

I mean drones were used for photography since the 1980s

2022 now!

What's so impressive about that? Lol

@@ulthric670 consumer drones back then we’re trash… this must have been shot by an actual drone team and not just a POS Phantom

Just turn your volume down b****

Have not had

@@griffinbliss5482 cool

Jan-anne Kloosterboer Yeah

Turn it down shmuck

Honestly it’s one of the best. The terrain is legit.

How far is that from Seattle?

Dusty Baker If you live in Seattle then you know. We get much more snow up in Washington so why do you ask?

@@ayxzer3226 I live in Chicago. I've been to Seattle twice to board and both times the conditions were shit. I know it can be pristine but it was icy as fuck those times. Neither of those compare to Vail!

@@ayxzer3226 I ask because I'm flying to Seattle end of month and htting best conditions within reasonable distance...

Dusty Baker Ive lived in Chicago for most of my life. Where did you board near Seattle? Whenever I go to Vail it’s always seriously icy.

Looks like a regular pow day line at bachelor lol.

Ive seen worse. Strawberry gondola at snowbasin on a powder day is far beyond longer than this.

Then why did the only build a 4 seater and not a 6-8 seater? :) Probably too expensive.

@@EmotionalWeather A quad chair is fine most of the time. A wider chair would deposit riders too quickly and cause congestion at the top.

Wally Kramer In the US it seems like that is true. I think I‘ve only seen 1 6-seater when I was skiing in Utah. 6-8 seaters are kind of normal in Germany/Austria, the big resorts have them everywhere. The resort where I was a week ago has 12 6-seaters and 5 8-seaters

Cloud Chaser lift is No☝️Match for Ramcharger 8. North America 1st ever Heated 8 Seater Chairlift. liftblog.com/2018/12/15/big-sky-doppelmayr-christen-ramcharger-8/

This ain't Europe

The infrastructure in Europe is insane. Laax alone is a wonder

the more u know, the painful it gets... and you not gonna get that retro-rustic feel from the over priced chair ride ;)

@@iancho9587 that's fair, I agree that the lifts in Europe are better. But that being said, there's way too many gondolas that make coming back up way slower, due to having to take off your skis etc. I'm European living in Denver and I think I like the systems used here better, for maximizing my skiing fun.

@@josephauler6165 I live in Switzerland and Laax is probably the worst in terms of lifts, so many old ones and you always have to take your skis off. But yeah most places in the alps have amazing lifts.

They have steep stuff, this is just a more mellow area!

No ☝️This is Amazing 😉 >>>unofficialnetworks.com/2018/12/15/big-sky-officially-opens-the-worlds-most-technologically-advanced-chairlift/amp/

Mount Bachelor is in Central Oregon, about 20 miles west of Bend, Oregon. See www.mtbachelor.com/

The place to go is this place>>unofficialnetworks.com/2018/12/15/big-sky-officially-opens-the-worlds-most-technologically-advanced-chairlift/amp/

I saw a cross country rider get to the top I nether same time it took us to chair up, helped by a few stops of the chair

That’s ground speed not elevation

Because Australia isn’t real and the earth is flat

Probably because Australians are amongst the keenest and best traveled skiers around plus their engineers are pretty versatile. Theres a few chairlifts and a gondola being being in Australian ski fields at the moment.

@@Dave_Sisson bull shit. They're obsessed with extreme sports while our engineers are going to space and defending the motherland. "Probably." Take another, "selfie."

They were Scottish

Because Aussies are Awesome

they can turn, but it's kinda uncomfortable to ride. There is one at Alta utah that turns and you definitely feel it. The tower setup looked more complex too as it needs extra lateral support.

It‘s possible in theory, but it basically never happens.

@@EmotionalWeather I mean I've ridden on one. It works but it's not as smooth to ride

No match compared to the First Ever In North America this lift >>>snowbrains.com/ramcharger-opens-big-sky-resort/ www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/take-a-ride-on-the-most-high-tech-ski-lift/ unofficialnetworks.com/2018/12/15/big-sky-officially-opens-the-worlds-most-technologically-advanced-chairlift/amp/

Colorado and Utah use extremely expensive lifts. Oregon is not as popular and doesn't have as many resorts or skiing tourism as those states so doesn't have the money to spend on gondolas and lifts. Not to mention Bachelor costs about $175 for a 2 day pass, and kids under 12 can ski for free. I can't find any European tickets where kids ski free. And the average cost is 60-80 euros per day while kids average 40-50 euros. For families this mountain is cheaper then most of Europe and it's certainly cheaper then Canada which is more expensive then the US

Notice how he puts his skis around the kids as he looks down at the kid and the fact kid has no poles? That's clearly his dad giving him a push. You must be from California

@@Jolinator california prolly has better skiing than where u live so stfu

Probably because there isn't enough room to fit the top terminal and it will take a long time to blast the top surface with explosive.

They already have a lift to the top

there is a lift that goes up to the top dumbass

Havnt been there, but that’s doesnt seem much sense to put a gondola there

Heres the funny part... In CO we got a new Bubble chair in Copper Mt. But people didn't even know that bubble chairs even exists for most people.

Oof

"shields"? Maybe you mean canopies? We don't have those in Oregon. Don't need them. Lifts will be closed if the winds are strong enough (45-50 mph with higher gusts) or if surface visibility is very low (like 20 feet).

i grew up in vermont riding exposed conventional double and triple lifts in -15 degree fahrenheit air temps with 20g30 winds... harden up dude

I mean at least the lift has some Wind slats on the chairs and has a tiny garage compartment.
