The Sea to Sky Gondola is a privately owned[1] recreational aerial tramway about 2 km (1.2 mi) south of Squamish, British Columbia.
Some employees traveled to the headquarters of the Doppelmayr/Garaventa Group in Austria to purchase the onsite gondola, while others went to Switzerland to buy the newest passenger cabins, of the Omega IV 8 variety.
[5] Two years later, in 2022, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police released thermal imaging of the 2020 scene showing that a security guard was almost hit by one of the cables.
[6] The gondola is manufactured by the Austrian Doppelmayr/Garaventa Group, and the cabins are made by its Switz CWA Constructions division, at a cost of $50,000 (equivalent to $63,862 in 2023).
The bridge, which was built by Macdonald & Lawrence Timber Framing Ltd., a firm which is known for its restoration of Kinsol Trestle, was finished in October 2013.
The Summit Lodge Viewing Platform is close to the gondola unloading station and is 5,000 sq ft (460 m2) in size.
Spirit is found across the Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge and presents informative displays showcasing the history of the Squamish people.
Finally, Chief Overlook is located in the middle of the Panorama Trail, a short walk from the Summit Lodge.
The lodge was completed in Spring 2014, being made of over 700 local Douglas fir beams of varying size.
No one was injured and the British Columbia Safety Authority along with the Doppelmayr/Garaventa Group decided that the cause was "a unique weather event.
[11] The gondola was featured on the first leg of The Amazing Race Canada 6 in which teams had to ride it to the top, getting their next clue at the Panorama Trail.
