Actually if you notice the directional sign the picture is looking towards the exit from pop century. So the tower shows it tilted down towards the lake and pop/art station.

I'm with @peter11435 on this one. The sign gives it away, hence my initial comment.

I do take back the 4 attachment points thing though. A better screen shows 8 or 9 bolts on one side.

There's so many erections of these towers happening all over property now!

obviously, multiple concurrent erections allows for sooner completion -
focusing on only one erection then the next would only elongate the process and anticipation is already palpable.

so, yeah, not the kind of project you want to sit on and drag out...
it's actually quite innovative, if you think about it

If it takes them more than 4 hours, do they need to call someone?

Correct however it appears to be to be a concrete pylon with steel around it. This is different than what was put up near Pop.

What you are seeing in this image is not a tower itself but a concrete piling. That’s why there are several more laying next to the one that upright.

Hey guys, long time lurker finally joined, just wanted to chime in from Vermont as a long, long time snowboarder and ski industry employee who is very familiar with gondi's. Those sheave trains will be adjusted later when they lay the cable and comm lines. Dopp would not be putting those sheaves up if they aren't going to see a cabin for another year, those are parts that need to be maintained frequently and will start to fast if left just sitting there.
