Vermont ski lift safety patrols ensure riders’ safety
In Vermont two passenger tramway technicians, including Fred Harvey in the south, enforce strict lift safety under Title 31 Vermont statutes. Harvey inspects signs, brakes, cable anchorage, bullwheels, grounding, drive trains, counterweights, and lighting, plus investigates accidents and federal land areas with help from the U.S. Forestry Service. Operators often resist corrections, but inspections remain thorough for a system with more than 200 lifts and 465000 feet of line.
