Rocky Mountain Rigging

Overview

Riley's headed to the Wild West - just outside Yellowstone Park near Cody, Wyo., to rebuild one of the first ski lifts in the country. Riley joins cowboys of the ski lift industry to rehab 10 towers from piles of used parts. Building just outside of picturesque Yellowstone in the rugged back country presents additional challenges. To get several of the towers up the mountain, the guys bring in a special helicopter to crane the materials into place. It's an incredibly delicate operation.
