Yeah that is how they plan to get some of it up there. The real problem is there isn't much of a road to the bottom of Little Cloud so we will see

The parts wil probably come up to the base of the tram on a standard 18-wheeler. I've never seen Little Cottonwood Road, but I'm guessing it's no worse than Highway 542 to Mt Baker. When we built C-2, the motor room came as a pre-assembled unit and the semi was able to drive right up the road.
If you look back at SAM a few years to the fall after the Mineral Basin lifts went in, you'll see a CTEC ad with photos of the terminals hanging under the tram cabin. They're quite impressive. To get the other parts to where they needed to go (namely the bottom terminal) they took them off the tram and put them on a trailer built on the chassis of an LMC 3700C snowcat, which was towed behind a PB 300.

Tyler, don't you remember the pictures that TR posted when they were installed the HSQ in the back bowl? They attached the terminals to The Tram and took them up that way. I wish I saved those pictures that TR took. Those were assome pictures. Does anyone else on the forum maybe have them?
Those pictures (including a bull wheel) were in one of the popular ski magazines, either Ski, Skiing. Powder, or SAM. What was the date?
