There’s certainly more merit in going with a chondola here than a gondola or a six pack. A chondola would provide the best of both worlds. Gondola cabins for ski school and Nordic ski traffic (McCoy Park will provide a nice secondary beginner pod so that not everyone’s using Red Buffalo). Chairs for everyone else.

If I had a guess, this will be the next lift replaced at Beaver Creek. Perhaps a 6/10 Chondola like Centennial.
