How are chair lifts/gondola's (at ski resorts) built and installed?

Ive been on holiday recently snowboarding, and while on the chair lifts and gondolas weve been thinking about how are these massive structures built in such remote and inaccesible locations? Another part to this is how are the cables (which must way tons) run over the length of the lift, then bonded together and the tension applied?!Can you help, or point me to a website?

Answer:

soak your hands in nail polish remover until the acrylic dissolves
use a 100% acetone nail removerLeave your hands in there until the nails dissolve!
I had acrylics put on and I do not know if you are allergic to acetone (nail polish remover) works great and also removes crazy glue from anything.
Buy pure 100% acetone and keep your finger in until fully dissolvedThe nail salon charges a lot of many for doing the exact same thing and it's only a one time thing, just do it yourself and save money and you will even have some save acetone remover for future use.
i just watched a gondola being built in breckinridge coloradoall the materials are either flown or trucked infirst the large support poles are builtthen they have feed the large cable into the tracksthis is usually done by helicopter or cranesthen at the beginning and end of the lift/gondola the new chairs are fed onto the cable untill all the chairs are on the cable.
