What happened to this lift?

[porter]

This picture was on the Solden thread. What happened? Did the glacier melt, or was there a landslide? It's a strange photo ...

The Tower is in the Glacier and the Glacier is moving slowly down the mountain. To protect the Tower against the Glacier, the engineer build a large heating. So the Snow and Ice melt. And now, there is a hole in the Glacier.

If something wrong, please improved me

And sorry for my bad english

OK, so in order to put the tower on the mountain the engineer had to build an element to heat the glacier? And that heating melted the side of the glacier so the t-bar cannot operate? How strange. Thanks for your reply.

[Drahtseil]

No, the T-Bar can operate!

Here you can see the current situation.

For the t-bar to operate, did they have to add a snow base, or did the glacier grow? From the original photo, it looks as though the cable crosses open air.

[Drahtseil]

The have to put up some Snow to the T-Bar Track.
