We had a power outage due to a couple of blown high voltage cutouts (fuses) on the 12,460 high voltage line at the ski area. I'm working with a lineman to replace the fuses. He's using a 'hot stick' here to reach up and lift the blown fusses out, and replace them.
There are several different fuse cutouts protecting the line as it runs through the woods, feeding power to the lifts along the back side of the mountain. We usually have three or four instances a season where this happens, usually due to a storm and falling trees. This one was due to heavy, wet snow, blowing two fuses.
