I’ve been watching the Kendall mountain improvements closely and although I’m disappointed that they aren’t going with the biggest expansion plan of 800 acres and 3,800 vertical ft. It makes sense.

Regarding the culprits of the sea to sky gondola issue, you would think they would have some sort of camera surveillance for at least the bottom and top terminals. I’m not sure where the rope was cut but I would think they’d at least have some clue what happened.

I believe from the initial report that the culprits climbed a tower near the top drive terminal and cut the line from there. They probably only have a camera at the actual top terminal and the culprits could have hiked in from anywhere unfortunately. At this point they are probably hoping they will brag/confess to someone who will turn them in.
