The Nga WAI HEKE CHAIRLIFT

The relocation of the Nga Wai Heke Chairlift (formerly the Highflyer Chairlift) now has the towers in place and is on schedule for the 2012 winter season.  This is a photo of the drive station being erected.  We aim to have this completed by the end of the weekend.  The haul rope which is the next significant milestone should be up and spliced by the end of next week.
