    What Does Iceaxe Do?

    I'm an engineer and one of my companies is a Structural Engineering company. When I'm not defying death or seducing a beautiful woman I can usually be found designing big things made out of steel. Approximately 80% of my work is in mining and energy which means the public seldom gets to see my handiwork... but... for the past several month's we've been working up at Snowbird installing a walkway from the Cliff Lodge to the Tram Center, and a smaller walkway from the Peruvian Lift to the Tram Center. Anyhoo... I was up on the job site this morning and snapped a couple of pictures I thought some of you might find interesting. I have to say this job site is a lot more scenic than most, as mines and power plants have a habit of being located in miserable places. If you are up to October-fest you can check it out because it's almost impossible to miss.

    Please resolve the axial forces in the truss. Also include a free body diagram illustrating all external applied and reaction forces.

    This is a closed book examination. You have 20 minutes.
    It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

    Hahaha... that's all I do every day, all day long.... I can solve those types of problems drunk, at night, in a snowstorm, naked, while standing on my head...

    ....the weird part is I actually enjoy doing it.

    I was up there last weekend staying at the Cliff. I was annoyed I had to drag my old drunk ass all the way up the hill because the lower level is closed for construction. Nice to know my ire was directed at you

    Kidding of course, looks like it will be nice when complete.

    Looks good. It's nice to see your work out in the real world rather than on a computer screen or a piece of paper.

    Simple and solid, eh? Looks like you managed to keep the architects out of it (for the most part)
