Anyone know what the approximate dimensions of a 3s cabin (Doppelmayr-30 person) would be? Im trying to make a model of the Peak to Peak Gondola at Whistler for Google Earth..

Thanks in advance

That is an incredible video. Tons of great footage of the 3S.

That looks like the vid Whistler Blackcomb used at their open house. Thanks for the link!!!

Have a look at lift-world.info. There at lift-database and then click on bicable ropeways. There you find pictures of Val d'Isere and of Kitzbuehl.

Found some more decent resolution pics of Kitzbuhel

Engineer Peter Luger hosts the construction video for the Kitzbuhel 3S (in german)

I quite liked the part where the truck hauling one of the ropes up the mountain goes into the ditch.

You have experience with that one, do you?

[Aussierob]

Not quite, we wer hauling a rope on a spool up the mountain hanging off the boom of an excavator with the dipper removed. The weight of it collapsed a culvert with a creek flowing in it.
