We’re not sure either why a gondola needs WiFi, since the typical ride isn’t that long, and since, Vail says, the new gondola, which will replace the 26-year-old Vista Bahn lift, will provide 40 percent higher capacity. To us that means it will likely be even faster; better download those apps in a hurry! The real attraction for Vail is greater volume to mid-mountain, as the new gondola traces the same course as the present Vista Bahn, and more comfort in lousy weather. There’s more attraction for summer use, too, since gondolas are easier for loading and unloading mountain bikers and hikers.
