Where Eagle Mountain cables actually wear
At the bottom bracket, where winter moisture sits. A Eagle Mountain door that freezes to the slab and is then driven by the opener also shock-loads both cables — one more reason a frozen door gets freed with warm water, never with the button.
Replace as a pair — both carry the same mileage — and treat a cable that has jumped its drum as a symptom: the drum, the tension or the track caused it, and re-seating without correcting the cause schedules the repeat.
Eagle Mountain against its neighbours
The measurements shift town by town: Saratoga Springs sits at 4,593 ft with 96.8 freeze–thaw cycles; Lehi sits at 4,502 ft with 96.4 freeze–thaw cycles; and Bluffdale sits at 4,659 ft with 97.6 freeze–thaw cycles.
This page runs on Eagle Mountain's numbers (102.1 freeze–thaw cycles, 2012 median build, 4,922 ft of elevation) — close to the neighbours', never identical, which is exactly the point of measuring per city.
