True story.

Can't they just convert the ski lift into one huge ass machine which will clear the path of snow?

^ You should become an engineer.

...what the shit.

Considering the length of the lift, you'd need a MUCH bigger motor and more power to get those things moving through all that heavy snow.

Actually that is not completely true. If you change the metal of on the ski lift to a metal which conducts heat pretty well you will be able to melt your way through the snow. You would not need to heat up the metal since it would just get the heat from the surrounding. It will take some time, but it will work. Same principal as letting a coin melt through an ice cube.

^ Good idea, but I don't get how the metal is gonna heat up in such a cold environment?

It does not need to heat up a lot. The metal needs to be just a little bit warmer then the snow is. 1 degree warmer would already "melt" the ice.

 

[Panki]

^ And how are you ment to accomplish that?

At this rate we'll have made about 1 inch of progress by summertime -_

Just leave it like it is. I like the looks of it
