New cable for Silver Mountain Gondola

Home • Archives • Spokane Edition — June 1, 2010

— After 20 years of dedicated service, the gondola haul rope at Silver Mountain Resort is being retired and replaced with a new cable. The Silver Mountain Gondola, North America's longest, was put into service in 1990 at Silver Mountain Resort. The new 6.2 mile cable was recently custom manufactured in Switzerland and shipped to Kellogg. The cable arrived on two spools that each weigh over 133,000 pounds. Specialists from all over the world came to Silver Mountain to help with this very complex and time consuming installation process. The project is expected to be completed by November 15th. The old cable will be cut into small sections and shipped to Korea for recycling and a few very small pieces may be sold as souvenirs. You can follow the progress in Silver Mountain's facebook page.
