according to prance.

i know they said it was closed for maintenance. wonder if they're looking for any problems like what happened at whistler.

better safe than sorry-FOR SURE.

'sides if it did "break" we'ld be without for sometime.

just to clarify- this is Whiteface's gondi.

I hadn't heard about the gondi at Whistler:

I've been on those gondi's up there and they are very similar to the ones at Gore and Whiteface.

Does anyone know if its the same company?

I can only imagine how frightening that would be - yikes!

right. did you read of the new peak to peak gondi at whistler?

check it out. not for the faint of heart.

don't know for sure if it's the same manufacturer as Gore/Face gondi.
