The Base to Base Gondola ride will offer scenic views of Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada mountains, easy transit between the resort’s unique base areas, and lift access for expert skiers and snowboards to the top of KT-22. Traversing 2.4 miles and a total of 3,105 vertical feet, the ride will take approximately 16 minutes as passengers travel from one base terminal to the other with a brief stop at the new KT-22 mid-station. The Base to Base Gondola features four terminals, 33 lift towers, and 96 cabins, each of which seats up to eight people. With the capacity to transport 1,400 passengers an hour, this new gondola can be operated as one continuous lift or as two separate lifts from each base area to the top of KT-22 in case of inclement weather.
