VAIL VALLEY DAILY PHOTO: A LITTLE HELO HELP
A huge heavy lift helocopter drops a cable carrier assembly onto the top of a lift tower which itself was dropped into place just minutes before. This was the amazing show yesterday as Vail Resorts hurried to complete the installation of the brand new high speed state-of-the-art Gondola replacing the old four passenger Vista Bahn chair lift out of Vail Village. Towers and assemblies from bottom to top of the mountain were installed in one day! The massive carrier cable roll is set to be delivered to the site today on a 32 wheeled flat bed. This new luxury lift will be operational for Vail's opening day - only a little more from a month away. Pray for Snow!
