Jackson Hole Aerial Tram

The tram takes people to the top of Rendezvous Mountain, at a summit of 3,185 meters (10,450 feet).

After 40 years of service, the Kemmerer family (the owners of the resort) decided to retire the tram in September 2005.

An inspection revealed that the tram would last for a couple more years, but the family thought it best to decommission it before any safety hazards raised.

Designs for the new tram were released and approved in early 2007 with demolition and construction beginning in April of that year, the day after the resort closed for the 2006-2007 ski season.

The Austrian company Doppelmayr Garaventa created the five steel towers, terminals and mechanics.
