Seems a bit excessive of a break over there. They could have designed it so the upper tower is a little uphill and the lower tower is a bit more downhill making the transition a bit smoother.

The pay package also includes........ $80,000 in resort credits every year. Credits can be redeemed across Vail's portfolio for accommodations, meals, spa services, golf lessons, ski rentals, and excursions.

WTH? That is beyond weird.

Basically his family just gets everything for free, meals, lessons, equipment, clothes, lodging, Brazilian waxing..... etc... It's just a bad look and really dumb given how trivial it is versus his total comp.

I imagine it's because they wanted the gondy base to be smack dab in the middle of the hotel & retail plaza.

That's why I turned and spun around in the video, so you could see how it loads right next to lodging, retail, restaurants, etc.... It reminds me of how the Eagle Bahn gondy goes right into Lionshead Village at Vail if you're familiar.
