Rainier Express Updates – Crystal Mountain


6/17: First Fly Day in the Books!

Thanks to the collaboration between Crystal Mountain and Leitner-Poma, all Rainier Express towers, cross arms, and sheave assemblies were removed in under three hours.

Our crews were boots on the ground starting at 6:00 a.m. and finished ahead of schedule. A huge shoutout to our pilot, Adam, who moved smoothly through the air.

Thirty-one picks and nearly 100,000 pounds later, REX is officially retired.

Formwork is now underway, and concrete pours are scheduled to begin in the coming weeks. Stay tuned, folks.
