Scottish games?
A heavy duty, teams version of tossing the caber? Or perhaps a rugby line-out with steel? What the Bulletin camera captured here was the Doppelmayr/Turoa crew on one of their attempts to nab an elusive 3-4 tonne chairlift tower. Because of the awkward balance of the towers which were flown in compiete using a Russian heavy-lift helicopter, the team had to "just be patient and keep on trying " in their efforts to harness the towers. So it was a tough morning's work for the team as it took three or four attempts to muscle the towers onto the bases of the new Turoa quad chairlift.
