Scariest lift ride in my life. I was there in 98/99 or 99/00, doing a pre Olympic check on the venues (it was the same year Park West was called Wolf Mountain). It was the last year that the gondola ran, it started to get windy, so I headed over to the gondi just in time to be last cabin. The windows wouldn't shut all the way and it was blowing about 40 with higher gusts...you'd think I'd be smart enough to get out at mid (angle?) station, but noooo (since this was my only day at PC and the last year for the gondola) I went all the to the top. I almost pissed myself 3 times on that ride, forever memorable.
Would have been 1996-97, that was the last year of both the gondola and Wolf Mountain
