Construction of the replacement for Jackson hole’s iconic tram, which will be larger and faster than the original, is reported to be on target for a December 20th launch, by the resort.
Conditions have been challenging as winter lingers in the Tetons, but towers 1 and 3 are erected and the new foundation for tower 4 has been uncovered from 20 feet of snow.
Sea containers from Europe arrive daily, as crews dismantle the old and erect the new tram components. The first photos of the actual tram cars, being built in Europe, can now be found at www.tramformation.com.
www.tramformation.com content also includes a video diary produced by award winning film maker Peter Pilafian. The videos showcase the project continuing, the people behind the machine and the resort that houses the story. Coming to the site will also be unique competitions including a chance to win a spot on the first tram.
The new aerial tram at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort will be twice the size of the original, carrying 100 passengers, have modern, sleek cabins, a visually inspiring base terminal, plus be faster, more efficient and tougher than its predecessor. As well as the journey, it is the destination that captures the spirit of the Jackson Hole tram. Soaring 4,139 vertical feet in nine minutes it is unrivaled in the US ski industry, cresting the Tetons with an endless choice of mind-blowing ski routes below, not to mention incredible 360 views, and only a few fellow disciples to nod at before you choose your line.
