I was just checking out Sun Valley, Idaho's website today and saw that it published its future expansion plans. There looks to be a new base village along with a gondola. I don't have fast enough internet to see the 'master plan web presentation', so you guys will have to fill me in. :)

I will try to find some info while I'm there this summer. ;)

It works, just not right now. I think they wer doing site backup because I can't go to sunvalley.com right now. But maybe it doesn't work at night to save on bandwidth or something?

I like the Cabriolet idea, especially for short distances, but I have heard of complaints from guests that it is too cold in the winter months. I bet Sun Valley opts for an enlcosed cabin since it is quite a distance in their case.

The reason why resorts choose a cabriolet over a gondola is because they are A LOT cheaper. Would you pay $20,000 for each cabin or choose the cabriolet cabin for only like $3,000 to $5,000 a piece?
