Aspen times today announced that the Silver Queen gondola will get new cabin next season. From the demos sitting in town they will be CWA Omaga cabins. The old ones will be avalible for $550 on May 16 in the Buttermilk parking lot you can leave message with Joyce Hardy 920-0701 to resurve one of the 165 cabin avalible
I summing up the article was a bit more long winded

Huh 550? Wonder what you could buy cabins for from the manufactuers. Although more then likely no one is looking at these in the lets go build a lift sense and more of a lawn ortament or something to that extent.

Cabins from the manufacturer? Easily into the thousands. Most of those who buy these use them for benches (chairs) and such. Maybe some companies buy them for decoration (ie ski shops etc).

Definately being sold as decorations or nostagia items. With the hours on them, it would cost a ton to make them servicable.

EUROS? FOB Switzerland? 4 passenger?

[SidBurn]

I'd want one of those. I love Aspen's gondola, such a cool, unique design. WHY are they changing it to make it look like everyone elses? Can't they at least put in an updated design of the egg cabins?

Soon to be seen on EBay??

[SkiBachelor]

I can't believe a guy spent $44,000 on cabins. If he does sell them on ebay, hopefully he will be able to sell them all.

Does this mean that the demo cabin that sits in the Aspen Theater will be removed at sold too and replaced with a new Omega 3. If so, there's another cabin up for grabs. :)

[Peter]

There are 2 of these on eBay right now, at $1500 and $700

The joke here in aspen is that the cabins are the only items that the skico has ever underpriced, plus, with one guy buying 84 of them you got to think he is turning them over with some markup what ealse could he do with them?

[SkiBachelor]

The guy that bought half of the Aspen gondola cabins is actually usuing them to display his products at the ski shops in the Midwest Region. However, he could be selling a few of them to cover his costs of buying them.
