Moving Parts: A Tram Story
Moving Parts | A Tram Story is a series that covers the work that went into over $5 million of Aerial Tram upgrades in the spring of 2017, and the people who made it happen.
Published spring and summer of 2017
As we head into the heart of spring and shift our focus to summer, our Lift Operations won't be slowing down anytime soon. With the arrival of its new parts in April and the seasoned guidance of Doppelmayr-Garaventa, we've been busy giving the Tram some major upgrades. From the cabins to the loading dock to the towers and saddles, these changes will give new life to the lift that has taken us to the top and back so many times before. Stay tuned for a weekly window and a close-up look at our progress.
