Gondola cable snaps

[dan_pdx]

This is crazy. Can the cable be spliced, or do they have to replace it again?

[yeahman]

Had to be done by batshit crazy Americans who illegally snuck into Canada.

[waxman]

.....so this has to be done by Canadians, right?

Or Americans on their way to Alaska by the most direct route.

This whole thing stinks.

[XXX-er]

same same, order up a cable and some gondys

the only good news is that everybody knows exactly what to do , .


no vague news releases this time, cops are out doing investigation with dogs

Unlikely. The US-Canadian border has been closed to Americans since March 21st.

MOMO zombies can sneak in

I bet Sea2Sky hires a contractor for some wet work.

[kalisto]

Wow... again. Actually feel sorry for the sea to sky gondola folks this year.

Honestly had a pass a few years ago, and the staff there were all great. Hope they catch this fucking person.

[Maximus Farcisimus]

It's that kind of commitment to the cause that is really lacking these days.

Once left room for lots of speculation.
A 2nd time--this person must really harbour some animosity.

I just hope they don't have a gripe w WB when I'm on one of their lines.

Why don't they take the cabins off the cable at night?
Seems the logical thing to do after the last time.

[altasnob]

Environmental terrorists are a dedicated bunch.

Not closed to people driving to and from Alaska (and Point Roberts).

Puregravity we’re waiting for your wind speed reports.

Maybe they didn’t take the cabins off the line because they thought it was a one-off event due to acidic bird shit.

Seriously though - the “logical” step was to save the cabins in case of repeat cutting?

Well who’s really terrorizing the environment here?

The service shuttling fat Americans up to a pristine area to eat Cheetos and take selfies OR the person or people trying stop that?

This rules out the squirrels because they love getting into that tasty garbage.

When the Sea to Sky Gondola reopened in February, management said the rebuild included the installation of a new 4.4 km long main haul cable, thirty new cabins, and a new state of the art security system.

CBC report:-

He said the person who cut the cable triggered an automatic alarm system at around 4 a.m. PT, alerting the RCMP.

"I've seen with my own eyes this morning exactly what happened," said Brown, who has access to security footage.

"This individual has no regard for their own life and limb. They wanted to do what they did, they did it swiftly, they did it with skill."

RCMP were on the scene "in minutes," Brown said.

Officers set up road blocks on the Sea-to-Sky Highway before dawn, stopping travellers driving north and south as part of the investigation. The West Vancouver Police Department and RCMP's police dog team are also part of the investigation.

I blame Michigan's right wing Militiamen. Canadians only know how to cut down trees.

Seriously. I hope WB beefs up security. If it can happen in Squamish, no reason it can't happen at Whistler, too.

Pristine is a bit of a stretch.

[altasnob]

The perpetrator just read the Monkey Wrench Gang too many times. They don't want to kill people. Just stop people from killing the environment.

Used the smoky air to make ID harder via video.... SMRT
