Cable splice at LOC

This past winter the T bar leading to the top of outing club hill was damaged ue to error, the ski hill was forced to shut down   for the season. Our practicum class was able to help the lift techs replace a section of wire. The splicing process is a very labor intensive process. it involves removing the wire from the shivs and then removing the section of wire that needs to be replaced, once removed the new section must be un wraped at both ends and then interlocked back together with the existing line. Unfortunatly dur to bad weather and counter weight issues the splice couldnt be completed that day.
