muikabochi 208 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 At Gala Yuzawa today. I know they were moving snow, obviously, and in a very difficult place to get to - but can't work out why. It's not as if the snow was too close to the lift. Any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 No, that's not it seemore... there were three blokes doing the same on the next lift pylon thing as well. Link to post Share on other sites

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Making sure the snow does not put pressure on the pylon? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Hmmm, is that a real problem you think? Never seen that before. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Pow 52 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 That would be my guess. Especially as the snowpack warms up and gets heavier. Link to post Share on other sites

Zer0star 0 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Have seen them doing this at some resorts before too. Could it be to do with helping stop the corrosion of the pylons? The wet snow pack up against the pylons for a few months could do a little bit of damage over time. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Interesting ideas. Obviously there must be a reason. Up there at Gala, the snow will be there probably into May. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 actually, not probably... Definitely Link to post Share on other sites
