VIDEO: Time-Lapse of Summer Lift Maintenance at Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows, CA

“The quiet summer months are the busiest for our Lift Mechanics. Right now, our crews and Doppelmayr experts are working on a Tram Carriage Overhaul project. The current Aerial Tram carriages were new in 2014. As part of routine maintenance, they need to be disassembled and rebuilt every 6 years, which includes the replacement of all bearings, liners, bushings and hoses, as well as NDT (non-destructive) testing of all the axles. : Kurt Wilhelmy” — Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows
