- Опубликовано: 2 фев 2025
- "It's only visible if you know it's there." Watch a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to run Jackson Hole Mountain Resort's iconic Aerial Tram. Head Tram Mechanic Mike Vase and his team of tram mechanics take you on a journey high above Big Red and into the "crow's nest", soaring countless vertical feet on a daily basis and further cementing their status as the unsung heroes of the Jackson Hole Tram.
This is some of the best branded content I've ever seen. Great storytelling. JH rules!
Agreed
belongs on the discovery channel or something
Has anyone seen the traveling Jackson Hold Keep it Wild Jeep Cherokee running around town? What a kewl ad campaign!!
Couldn't have said it better myself! Highlighting non-obvious roles, and elevating jobs that may be underappreciated. Kudos!
Chris Onufer's mom here. He loved that tram and I loved the video. Thank you
These are the people who make America to be Great. Amazing storytelling!!
What an insane promotional video. Whoever directed this and shot it should be doing dam documentaries.
Just amazing! Thank you for the safe ride in 2024. Keep up the great work ❤
I remember my first trip up on the JH tram. Huge 24" dump overnight, the air was electrified on that tram with everyone absolutely buzzing waiting for some steep 'n deep on their first run of the morning as we flew over the untracked couloir. Tram operator comes on the intercom and makes the announcement regarding avy conditions and expert terrain yadda yada. Operator calls out "If you don't know..." and the whole tram shouts back "DON'T GO!".
He hangs up the intercom and Black Sabbath's "Children Of the Grave" blares for 10 seconds until the doors open and the arctic blast of the howling wind drowns it out.
That first run down is still seared into my brain. I will never forget it
I skied JH back in 1998, best skiing I ever did
Idk what i expected when i clicked on this but this is cool as fuck
As a retired mechanic i approve of this message! Heros for sure
Just finished my first trip to JHMR. Loved the tram ride to the top. Fun to find this video after getting home.
I've been on that tram several times over the years and I've always loved it! But I've never heard of a "tram junkie" before! Learn something new every day! God bless you brother! ❤
Love the passion this man has for his work
Great video. Very interesting. You folks stay safe up there.
Mike Vase! Dude, you rock!
this was so cool! now we need a video of Peter and the gondola team riding on top also. amazing stuff thanks for sharing!
I used to do that too, also as a tram mechanic. On the original tram and it's first replacement. Still have a few Frey AG Stans embossed Swiss army knives from then. Many years ago though, probably before these workers were even born. Nice video.
Love that tram! Thanks for all that the crew does!
You guys are awesome! When we do visit for the first time, we will make sure to stop and say hello to any maintenance crew members we get a chance to see. You guys make peoples dreams come true. Thank you for your service.
So much respect for all these guys! Alohas from Maui!
So cool to see people doing something they really love. I met Mike IRL, Dude is a real one. Great video.
This was really cool to watch and experience. Thank you for posting this!
Good to see a Wyoming Boy representing!
Thankful to have been able to hitch a ride in 2016. Can't pick between this or Lone Peak tram at Big Sky, both are incredible
Awesome, keep them wheels spinning!
Great Story Telling... Loved the musical choices..
beautiful and thanks for the safety running
Awesome insight into the hidden world of lift maintenance.
I used to love riding on top when I did lift maintenance.
This is so cool. Thank you for your hard work to everybody involved in making a skier or boarders dream a reality!
Brave souls not afraid of heights.
Riding up on top like it’s nothing.
Thanks to all of you brave souls for doing a great job keeping us safe.
Amazing and incredible! Loved this video! Jesus bless you all!
That's insane!! I was nervous just watching it.
Good Job!
Mike is one of my husbands best friends!!! Such a great human & he has such passion for this!!! ❤
Just spectacular JH team!
These guys & gals are total bosses. Much respect.
This is phuking rad! TY for the many trips to the top...stay safe & ride on!
WOW! I am so impressed! Fantastic video Mike Vase! I want to work for you!!
Crushing it! Love when I get to work on the mountains in Wyoming.
started so dramatic
love the vids
I've done high-rise window cleaning on buildings above 600ft and wouldn't even consider doing this. That is real deal exposure, these guys are no joke. #respect
Extremely impressive!!! EXTREMELY. I have been in Health and Safety for a decade and have seen countless preventative maintenance programs succeed and fail and this is literally the most impressive thing I have ever seen in that world. Unbelievable. Literally perfect. So so so impressive.
Love that crew ❤
incredible piece, so rad!!!
Awesome content. Keep ‘em coming!
Thanks to all you do! Looking forward to our January trip up there this year!
A big thank you for keeping the JH Tram in tip top condition. I think the tram got an overhaul in 2005. It's still looking great. It's one of kind in the USA.
My friend has a home in Wilson . I have been to the top of the mountain in the summer . Beautiful Gods country
Strong work.
Thanks Mike.
Amazing! We just ski. Never think about how much work behind the scene. Hope I can ski some day at JH.
I love this video ❤🎉
JHMR is forever a guide to my upbringing as an adult. Ski school management was killer, but the other fantastic employees on the hill made it.
Damn those sheaves are stout looking!
Wow...great video. Great passion and focus on keeping big red running with safety as a priority!!!
Very cool need to snowboard here one day
Also as for the accumulation of ice and snow on the instrumentation, I wonder have you considered engineering and routing some heating equipment to the area? Seems like it could work in at least some of those areas.
Hail to the tram operators
Wild!
One of the coolest thing I did this Summer was taking the tram to the top of the mountain and having waffles. Amazing experience.
Must have been up on Big Red a hundred times and never noticed the Crow's Nest. Nope. JH my favorite ski area.
Amazing
Most important job in the county
I did this tram this summer. It was awesome . I would love to do it in the winter, though !
I'm guessing this is what takes us to the ski trails.
Ah Doppelmayr! I trust those with my life, but i’ll be honest and say the tiroler Zugspitze Bahn still gets me nervous
Looks like Tower Week without a chute😮
Very Impressive…
Gotta be in the Blood!😊 10:33
Crazy. The tram is still an incredible feat of engineering. Too many hotshots going up, though.
What do you mean?
@@owenjohnston3541 out of control skiers riding the tram …
Radical...
How do I get this job I will gladly do it
Where would one go to school to be a lift mechanic
How do I get this job
Where do i apply to join the crew? lol

{Word 1 or Word 2}
Much respect to the people that really put the work in
This is NOT the tram I rode in 1977! 😎 🎉
As a baby I. Was told that where baby come from asd
Ready to change careers you hiring
Amazing european engineering..
Why call it a tram, where are the rails?
This is sick. You should paraski and lunch from that thing.
That's a hard pass for me.
That was 1 of the worst welds I've seen on youtube
Such a spectacular ride with you and 99 other skiers! ⛷
And remember “If you don’t know…….Don’t go!”😉
Thanks for all the effort to keep this running safely.
Greetings from 🇨🇦.
This place sucks unless the snow is good but it was hard pack blown out. Paid $230 for blown out groomers and hard pack garbage. Should have gone to Mammoth or Tahoe
