The GD10 WEIßSEEJOCHBAHN at the Kaunertaler Gletscher, AT

The new Weißseejochbahn commenced operations on the Kaunertal Glacier in Winter 2021/22. The 10-passenger gondola lift starts near the middle station of the existing Ochsenalmbahn chairlift at 2,494 meters, leading almost two kilometers up to the Weißseejoch at 3,044 meters. Building this new ropeway has made the ski resort even more attractive and modern. Additional runs and a large area for freeriders have been on offer since December 2021.
The ropeway is equipped with Premium Cabins Diamond EVO, which were custom-designed for the client. These comfortable single seats are covered with loden fabric and a special material has been applied to the ceiling of the cabin to create a pleasant feeling of space. Much emphasis has also been placed on making the stations’ architecture attractive. The two buildings in the valley and on the mountain have been designed to be as compact as possible, so that they blend perfectly into the surrounding mountains.

how are you supposed to get twintip or powderskis in the gondola ski stand? just asking, lol

[@b127_1]

Thats simple: you dont. Just hold on to them.

[@ktk0perry]

1 ski per hole works sometimes

[@theodorwalaker8904]

@@b127_1 yea, but they could just have made them 2 or 3 cm wider on each side tho, they got many years of experience with this so they should know, otherwise a very nice gondola:)

[@b127_1]

@@theodorwalaker8904 That wouldn't work. These stands hold on to the ski's by turning the flat end slightly so that the ski is held in place by both the end of the ski and the rubber around the holes. See 0:19. Holding on to twin tips would require a much deeper hole, like you see in the door mounted holders on some lifts.

Ooouu black direct drive is sexy.👍

yeah, that is true!

Why didn’t palisades Tahoe get these new beautiful cabins on its new gondola? The palisades sigma gondolas look like they are from the 1980s with the same small windows and cramped cabin, so I’m disappointed they cheaped out and didn’t procure modern cabins like these

[@ktk0perry]

Cabins are from a different company tha n the lift manufacturer
