Ocean11 0 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Does anybody with experience of working at resorts happen to know what fuels are used to power chairlifts and snowcats? Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 My old resort in Canada didn't have power running up to it so the lifts and lodges were all run on diesel generators Funny as the hill is right in the middle of a provincal park Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Popular stuff that diesel. Thanks. I wonder if there are many lifts run directly off electricity. Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Lots of them in NZ are electric (smaller more remote ones are desel) - powers cheaper there than here. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Electricity is always the no.1 choice for lifts, and I'm sure most of them are electric. Link to post Share on other sites
merryJim 1 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I thought the same. Ask Nippon Cable they seem to have most of the lifts.... (are there any others?) Link to post Share on other sites
