Stratton Resort Employees Practice For Gondola Evacuation

I can imagine this would be quite strenuous work. Of course if an emergency were to occur I don’t think the rescuers will have an opportunity to look down to become nervous about being 80 feet above the ground!

I wonder what the procedures are for the few gondolas Mt Buller have on HorseHill Lift?

Stratton Mountain, VT – Not for the acrophobic or faint of heart, Stratton Mountain ski area employees are training as a team over the course of eight weeks to prepare for a gondola evacuation in the event of an emergency at the Vermont ski and snowboard resort. Training will continue every Thursday morning at 8 a.m. for the next five weeks.
