Vail Gondola construction update

Construction on the new Vail Gondola is on schedule. Last week a spider helicopter dropped posts and parts on along the mountain. Only one month until the mountain opens!

Vail's new high speed gondola is moving right along. The lower gondola terminal is almost complete and the mid-Vail terminal building is enclosed. Earlier this summer a Huey Helicopter helped pour concrete bases for the new gondola lift towers that were inaccessible by road. Towers 19, 17, 8 were poured on day one and 9 & 4 on day two.  Vail Resorts has said they are on schedule to open on 11/17.
