Possible decent round of snow ❄️

Next up we move to Washington State's Crystal Mountain, where the Resort's flagship lift was not even designed for use at a ski resort, and it's bluntly apparent every time you visit crystal's. Mount Rainier Gondola, which debuted more than 15 years ago at this point, was originally designed with sightseeing in mind.

As a result, the lift has abnormally wide carrier spacing and therefore much lower capacity than a typical eight passenger gondola. To give you some context for just how low that capacity is, a typical eight passenger gondola can carry about 2,800 people per hour. The Crystal Gondola, on the other hand, can only carry around 900 people an hour, which is less than one third of that figure.

This has become an incredibly significant problem in recent years because the Mount Rainier Gondola is now the most desirable lift at the resort in a number of ways. It provides the only base to summit lift access on the front face of the mountain, as well as the only uphill service at Crystal that's enclosed from the elements which can be especially favorable under the wet storm conditions that the Pacific Northwest is fairly infamous for.

As the resort has grown, busier and busier over the years, the issue has gotten worse with perennial lift lines forming, not only at the gondola itself, but also at the chin and REX lift. Which together provide redundancy in this zone. While unfortunately, it would require significant re-engineering of the lift, we truly believe that the only real way to solve this problem, especially given the fact that the resort recently replaced the REX lift with another high speed quad without any capacity upgrade setting.

Topic graphical constraints is to bite the bullet and make the necessary investment to convert the gondola into a fully functional winter ski lift.
