They work on lifts, of course!
Check out this quick video of how a ski lift mechanic at Badger Pass Ski Area in Yosemite National Park lubes the haul ropes in the offseason.
Badger Pass Ski Area is one of the oldest lift-served ski areas in North America, and is one of three ski areas that operates within a US National Park.
Thank a lift mechanic next time you see one!
