Vernon ski hill announces plans for new gondola
VERNON, B.C. — Silver Star Mountain Resort has announced plans to add a gondola.
The high speed, 8-seat Doppelmayr lift will run from the village to the summit, replacing the Summit double chair, which dates back to 1970.
“These new cabins will whisk guests from the bottom to the top of the Summit in a third of the time of the existing double chair. The ride will now take four and a half minutes from Village to summit traveling at five meters per second over a distance of 1063 metres with a vertical rise of 293 metres” says Brad Baker, Director of Operations and Maintenance for SilverStar.
The Gondola will feature floor to ceiling glass to provide spectacular views of the mountain.
