The new lift. And damn they’re putting it up quick…
Well, on the advice of Mike, Tobes an I nipped up to Ruinettes to see exactly what Mike, Televerbier and the massive double prop helicopter that’s been hovering over Verbier were up to.
Well, a lot. And very quickly. Because since 7.30 this morning they’ve put up absolutely loads of pylons, and all the running gear. The top station is looking like all it needs is a cable, some lifts and a bit of snow.
The pylons look ready to plonk that cable and some seats on and start rolling.
The bottom? Not so much…
Yeah, there’s some work to do down at the start, but it’s the big bit where they’ve been pouring concrete and building a pretty heavy duty installation. But that’s enough typing, because we have pictures of helicopters and that’s why you came here.
Plus a video. And if it sounds ‘a bit windy’ that’s because it is. Very. Try 100kph coming off those rotors…
Didn’t seem to bother the livestock though.
Where does the lift go? From where to where? Or is it replacing one of the older ones in Ruinettes?
Wow good to see Verbier getting more lift capacity
