TERRACE —— Work has started
on: ‘reconditioning the old Kit-. .

sumkalum: Ski lift for use on

Shames ‘Mountain,

The work, under contract to
Mueller. Lifts, the builder of the
lift, involves checking for
damage, greasing parts and

' teplacing: those which are no.

longer. any good: |

‘One of the key parts of the.

work: is installing new tire-

shapped' rubber liners on the.

Wheels over. which the: ski Lift

cable runs, ‘says Rod Allan, one”

of the workers.

: They’ re expensive but they
are made from a compound

which” can take. any. kind of

temperature variations,’? che
said ofthe liners which come
from Mueller’ 8 Switzerland

The wheels are made: of

aluminum: and the complete

package, when installed on top.

of - the:.lift’ towers, are called
sheave assemblies,

“There are 18. towers so

‘that’s 30 assemblies and there
can be as many 10 wheels,”” said
Allan. ;

The number of wheels is
determined by the load factor at

“The more the toad factor is, :

the more wheels there needs to
bé,”? Allan said. ;

He added the iift equipment
is in good shape despite it stan-

ding idle since Kitsumkalum °

closed four years ago.“ .
The equipment was removed

from Kitsumkalum using a large

“helicopter 10 days,ago.. .

And since ski lift technology |
has changed. greatly over the -
past few years, the recondition- :

ed lift will have new features.
One of those is installing lif-
ting frames on each tower so the
cable can be more easily replac-
ed should it come off the
wheels, :
Another is an electrical detec-

y

tion system which can pinpoint ©
the tower on which the- cable

becomes detached, said Allan. .
The reconditioning . work is

"just one aspect of what is need-

ed to'make the ski lift ready for
the Shames development.
There'll be a new cable,'a new
return station through which
the cable will pass on the bot-
tom of the lift and new chairs.
