Another part to this is how are the cables (which must way tons) run over the length of the lift, then bonded together and the tension applied?!

Can you help, or point me to a website?

I am planning a road trip across the country this winter and I am trying to find out the general cost of one-day lift tickets (not rental or lodging: just lift ticket) in places like Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, California, and Idaho and surrounding areas.
