  4. Cables For New Chairlifts

    in The Lodge

    Posted · Edited by Pat Donnelly

    In Doppelmayr Seilbahnen’s newest video, we learn how over 700 tonnes of steel cable is manufactured and transported for a new chairlift.

    Building a new ski lift takes a lot of work. Trees need to be cleared, designs need to be made up, and, of course, supplies need to be made and transported. Each and every part of a chairlift needs to be sources, and the massive steel cables that move us up the mountain are no exception. In Doppelmayr Seilbahnen’s newest video, we learn how over 700 tonnes of steel cable is manufactured and transported up into the mountains for a new chairlift project.

    This video is in German, so make sure to turn on subtitles (unless you speak German, than enjoy!). The amount of work isn’t much of a surprise to me, but it is pretty crazy to see it all in action. Especially since the steel cables are just one piece of the overall chairlift puzzle.

    I do not own Zips (yet) but my understanding is most folks put the liners on the foot first then step into the boot shell.  The above video mentioned @6:58 that you do not have to do so by removing the laces and leave the Zips in the shell.   Might lose some of the beneficial molding attributes by doing so, like heel hold and form impression fitting vs hard shell compression?

    Coming fall 2024.

    From EVO 2025 gear preview:  "Arbor have some great looking boards for the 24/25 season, starting with the Padre. Designed in collaboration with long-time friend of evo, Erik Leon, the Padre draws inspiration from Japanese snowboarding culture. With a directional shape, set-back stance, and powerful camber profile, this is a high performance deck for low angle carving and surfing pow alike."
