SQUAMISH, B.C. — The Sea to Sky Gondola in Squamish, B.C., is closed after some of its cabins plummeted to ground early Saturday morning.

Staff at the popular tourist attraction say they were alerted to the incident at around 4:30 a.m. after the haul rope for the gondola cabins broke.

RCMP spokeswoman Const. Ashley Mackay says Mounties have taken over the investigation.

The gondola was not in operation at the time of the incident and no one was injured.

An employee working at the summit heard a loud bang and discovered the fallen cabins.
