Spicing the haul rope... check it out!

Work on the Chondola continues as the critical step of splicing the haul rope together is underway. It's an amazing process to watch the workers unravel and rewind the cable ends back together. Check out these photos of our hard working crew making ends meet as the start date for the Chondola is fast approaching. In the background you can also see some of our new fan guns at work.

I have often wondered about the splicing process, and my wife will tell you that on every single ride up a lift I am looking for the splice and offering uninvited comments on the work ethic and quality consciousness of the splicing technician. I had imagined one well-dressed European who arrives by helicopter and is paid fabulously for his oh-so-arcane skill set.
So now I know it is a whole crew of ordinary looking dudes, and I am not sure how I feel about that. I will still be looking for that splice!
