Sea to Sky Gondola to reopen in time for Family Day long weekend

The Sea to Sky Gondola is reopening ahead of schedule.

The gondola will open to the public on Feb. 14, a little more than six months after the gondola’s cable, also known as a haul rope, was deliberately cut in the early hours of Aug. 10, causing most of the gondola’s 30 cabins to fall to the ground.
