gondola

Rob Kingwill and Emilé Zynobia, professional snowboarders based out of Jackson, stepped off the gondola into the cold Wyoming air, about 4,000 feet above the valley floor.

At the resort, the socially distanced lines for the gondola were dangerously compressing.

There was even an idea for aerial transport system – or a gondola – that would cross the border from San Ysidro to Tijuana dating back to 1959, according to the Journal of San Diego History.

While you won’t be able to pile into a gondola with randos or share nachos at the lodge, you’ll still be able to make the most of this season.

In place of crowded après-ski bars and packed gondolas, you’ll see extra-long, spaced-apart lift lines, skiers in full-face coverings, and take-out lunches eaten outside.

That evening in the gondola, with one old and two newer friends, is marked with a white stone in my recollection.

A kind of summer palace illuminated by the rays of the rising Sun opened beneath our aerial gondola.

We came out at a gate which opened upon the lake, and there stood a gondola with two under jailers belonging to San Michele.

These, too, were shut and locked, and when I ducked under the nearest gondola I realized that I was trapped.

Further opposition was hopeless, so I returned disconsolate to my gondola, to await the issue.
