  • The Adivaram-Lakkidi cable car project in India is continuing its forward momentum. This major tourism project is planned to begin with around 50 cable cars, replacing the need to travel 23km of road with a 3.7km cable car ride. The total travel time is estimated to be 12 minutes.
  • After being down for a little more than a week, Steamboat Resort’s new $15 Million gondola reopened December 5. The fastest gondola in North America, the new system first opened November 23 but was shut down the next day due to a gearbox malfunction that occurred after-hours. The gondola has eight-person cabins and a quicker speed, increasing hourly passenger capacity by 38 percent.
