SilverStar Mountain Resort opened its new gondola to the public on Saturday.
The gondola replaces the Summit chair that has carried guests up the mountain since 1970.
The high-speed detachable cabins each provide seating for 8 people and have ski and board racks on the outside.
The gondola was originally supposed to open on July 7, but a spring snow storm delayed construction by a week.
“The gondola installation facilitates additional future capital improvement projects, such as the addition of an Alpine Restaurant between the Comet and the Gondola lift, installation of a lift in the Terrain Park, and options for a summer coaster or pipe,” Ken Derpak, Managing Director said in a news release.
