Ryan, I presume those angles are right angles? I was just wondering because you have the end points circle and I'm just uses to seeing them with a 'box' where the two lines meet which indicates a right angle, thanks.

Small circle is the pivot point for the main axel for this style of assembly. The assembly has a flat spot in this area approximately the size of a 6 pack. 2 - 45's is pretty close. The most important aspect of the drawing is that if the hold down assembly has a pronounced movement the bullwheel alignment turns to cheese whiz!

Image shows 8 wheel hold down at portal and another hold down that is directly uphill. Uphill assembly is on a adjustable tower rather than floating.

Bill, did you used to actually have pages for BC resorts with pictures? It would be so great if you got them up again! :D

Yea, there used to be a section and it will be coming back hopefully in the near future. It's just so damn boring to make the lift pages these days for the resorts that I have already done so I've been putting it off.

Great! I see what you mean. Dont you have a copy of the old site on your computer?

Yea I do.
