Did they ever report why the first two fell?
All I know is whats in the link, maybe someone else knows stuff
I've heard some brands might be more prone to failure like that chair at whistler
Let’s hope the same company didn’t build Whistler’s Peak to Peak gondola.
Nobody’s surviving that.

No, but $1.5 million (!) for the retrofit after the last accidentQuote:

It was perfectly fine when I was there 20 years ago :)

Probably the same kind that Eaglecrest just bought
Is uphill travel allowed?
Only if you want to die.Quote:

KH is awesome, and I had a great time skiing there, but their gondi seemed like it needed some maintenance. I was there towards the end of last season. They had to manually lock the grip onto the cable at least a couple of times while we were loading or in line - they had a big hook on a long handle for this. I'm assuming the failure mode of the grip is that it is locked, rather than open, so I wasn't super worried about it randomly opening once locked. But not something I'd seen anywhere else.Quote:
