the rope tows i've seen do not have tension, they simply use the catenary in the cable to match the slope of the pitch they travel over. unfortunately this limits length as eventually the line becomes too steep for riders to grasp. The system of tension looks like it'd work very well. is it able to keep the rope parrallel with the ground?
yes very good... and with the cable keepers on the return line sheaves we virtually no down time last season. a few burned out gloves from grabbing the rope though... photos to come... still working on other projects on the hill
