The Utah Department of Transportation says the gondola on Little Cottonwood Canyon could help people get off the canyon when the road is closed but ski resorts are open, but it would not run during any active artillery avalanche mitigation.
Utahns are divided over a proposal to build a gondola to take skiers to Snowbird and Alta. Some will do anything to cut the traffic, others want only to preserve the canyon.
The Utah Department of Transportation has proposed a gondola run up Little Cottonwood Canyon to reduce traffic. Students for the Wasatch, which opposes the gondola, invited students to learn more about the proposal and take action.
