Pretty impressive to see for fixed-grip. The only time I’ve seen a turn is the Blackcomb gondola. That’s detachable though, so it’s basically two lifts together

- gorbypark 5y agoWhistler Blackcomb actually has three gondolas that are like that. Excalibur (aka the old Blackcomb gondola), the Village Gondola and the new Blackcomb Gondola are all basically two lifts smushed together so they can make a bend (and also to allow loading people mid-mountain among other reasons).
