Never skied this one (but I've always wanted to), 7th Heaven on Blackcomb
Finally, the Mt. Rainer Gondola at Crystal, this is a pretty sharp looking system overall too.

NHskier I'm sure you'd be interested to know we use 51 of 71 gondolas at Loon during the summer.

Is the Mount Rainer Gondola a replacement for the Rainer Express, or is the Rainer Express Quad still there?
The gondola has very little capacity (600/hour) and you have to pay extra to ride it. Rex remains the primary access to the summit.

(My apologies for the bad quality of these photos. It appears my helmet cam was tipped farther down than I would've liked...)

Funny, that's been commented on before! I really don't know the story behind them. It's actually the entire crossarm - makes it nice to work on, since they aren't on an angle. It may have had something to do with the catwalks, since they were added when the lift was installed here.

Upon further review...looking at the power line poles and the chairs on line I see that they are indeed 'vertical'. I assume the cross arms were removed for transport and before reinstalling them the tube top was cut at an angle to match the tower inclination. (I was in Blackcomb with Yan in '80 and don't remember them being that way on the original installations).
Must make it a bi*ch to try and pick the rope off of those 8 gondola assemblies!
Also must have been a trick to set them with a helicopter- base bolts or imbedded Yan style?

Embedded in concrete, Yan style! Lifting the rope is actually no problem. It'll have to double check if the two towers lower down that are on a steep angle have their lifting frames like this, I don't think they are.
