Would be nice to see what the lift looks without snow to see how much is really there. How would you like to be the employee who is handed a shovel and told to get it dug out and going again. :)

I don't think that 100 foot snow drift is going anywhere till July. Even with a shovel.

Someone at work claimed "Photoshop". The lift line does appear to go into a mountain of snow and the work chair is also on line. Can anyone validate the photo?
Anything is possible when you don't understand what you are talking about.

While working at Timberlne years ago I recall the top terminal and the top two towers of the Palmer lift being completely buried with snow and seeing the haul rope going directly into the snow . Fortunatly it is a detachable with 100% parking and the chairs were off line.

It is indeed accurate. Notice the spindrift in the upper left corner of the firts picture. Also there are no downhill chairs on the line.

"Spindrift"? "No downhill chairs"?
How does that validate the photo and make it "indeed accurate"?
Why would there be a work carrier on line-downhill during an epic storm cycle that would bury the return terminal of a fixed grip chair lift?

It was taken at Bovet Ski area in Slovakia. A Poma Service Tech took it as he was there to help repair the Bull wheel which was crushed under the snow.
Nothing is so perfectly amusing as a total change of ideas.

My guess is that lift is closed for the season... Maybe the work chair was on because it is a summer only lift, possibly... that's my guess!
Obviously closed for the season...and also probably taken at the end of the season. I could see a later season dump causing a slide that would bury the terminal...but why would you put one there in the first place? Answer is below...

How long did he have to wait for them to dig it out? Or did he come back later?

That sucks. I figured a bull wheel could withstand a little pressure. Guess they don't make em like they used to.

Bullwheels are designed to take radial loads generated in line with the haul rope. NOT when tons of snow are dumped on top of them.

Boy, I did not realize this would cause tension... 
I was not paying good attention when getting this info. It was in Slovenia at Bovec. Ask JP at PSA, he went there to help change the bullwheel out and he took these pic's.
