Barb Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I know I am a whimp, but the gondola at Grouse Mtn scared me. I won't be in a hurry to ride the one at Whistler. But it is pretty amazing. 11 minute ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Law Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Stay away from Mammoth lift #23. Esp on a windy day. Or the summit double at Soli, on one particular day they had to keep stopping the lift as empty chairs were crashing into the lift towers.
