Retro Gondi fun

[SkiDork]

Nice, I remember riding that as a kid. Love the mogul skiing and air segments, hehehe.

Anyone have footage of the old Wildcat Gondola, that was the sketchiest lift I ever rode. The 2 person bubbles were in bad shape the when I rode them last. I remember opening a side window once and it completely fell off! Lot of them had holes in the floors too.

How about the old Killington Gondola? That was one long ride from Rt 4 to the peak and skiing the old 4-mile trail back down was my fav as a kid. Never understood why they stopped the new one at Skye peak.

the terminal in the peak lodge could not accomodate the new gondi, structurally

I think that's Root's new theme song.

I don't think I'll be playing that on my ipod this season....more than once;-)

Plus I am sure the K1 was in the works even in 93-94 and they didn't want two Gondis pumping people out up there. Wind was also an issue from Skye Peak to the Summit.

It would be awesome in one of your ski vids. :-D
