An old Wench I found about a quarter of the way up Alpental. It looks as though it was used to pull logs from the bottom to cover a nearby creek. The builder appers to be Skagit.

maybe they decided to build it then suddenly change something. Just a guess. Or could it do with doing work on the lift?

A slight line turn?

I remember we had something similar to this posted a while ago, but I'm not sure what the overall purpose was for it. I think that it had something to do with maintaining a certain amount of tension on the line, but I'm not sure.
Chairlift n. A transportation system found at most ski areas in which a series of chairs suspended from a cable rapidly conveys anywhere from one to eight skiers from the front of one line to the back of another.

Skagit has been building winches and yarders for a very long time. That actually looks like the drum portion of a yarder, removed from the wheelbed and with no tower. I wonder why the loggers left it there?

One of my favorite parts about airplane rides is that no matter how cloudy it is on the ground, it's always blue sky and sun up above the cloud line!

Sorry to go off topic, but how was it inspecting all those planes? (For those who don't know, Horizon Air had to cancel hundreds of flights last week because the same model had 2 landing gears fail in Europe.)

Well, better. We've finished the inspections of most of the aircraft that fell under the inspection requirment. Most of them have returned to service, and I think only three remain. If I was on my work computer I could log into our live MTX database to see which aircraft are still out of service, and their return dates. We should be back up to 100% by next week. We're operating around 95% right now.
It looks as if there may have been other issues with the SAS Q400's that could have contributed to their accidents. From what I've heard, one was that they use different cleaning equipment over there that may have had a corrosive effect on the main gear hydraulic actuator arm. No idea if this cleaning process was approved or not, but Horizon does use a different (approved) process. We did not find any corosion on any of our aircraft.

So my co-worker and I were out on line this week and a mountain chicken came after us! I've never seen them fly up as high as we were (around 45 ft.). Maybe he was protecting something? I know they're territorial, but damn! We tried to shoo him away a couple of times but he kept coming back for more! I took this picture of him with my cell phone the first time we encountered him..he came back for us yesterday but we didn't see him today.

Haha that's great! We had one a bunch of years ago that would wait on the climbing road on Red and attack the maintenance guys on the sleds - then fly up to the next switchback and get them again! And then last season there was one attacking the guests on one of the runs!
