Ski Winch

During the winter of 2014-15 Boston received record breaking amounts of snow. Not wanting to let it go to waste and with a distinct lack of hills on campus, Mikhaela Dietch and I designed and built a high speed winch capable of pulling a skier across flat ground at approximately 30 miles per hour. The winch is powered by a 6.5 horsepower two stroke horizontal shaft motor and has more than 600 ft of high performance Dyneema line.
