That said, there are ways to keep lunches reasonable.

Buddy has a house in Breck and I love his approach.  He takes a shopping bag with a couple of beers and bowls of instant ramen and buries it in the snow near the restaurant they'll be eating at so it's there at lunchtime.  Use the hot water for tea to make the ramen.  Still buy some fries or rice krispie treats or whatever, but saves $40+ w/ a family of 4.

Gondola broke at WP today. Had to rescue everyone on board. Unknown how long it will be out of order, but could be a while. Thankfully manufacturer is in Grand Junction, so parts are nearby.

Assuming the cars are stuck in place, how do they rescue ppl? Always wondered that on crazy high lifts and gondola sections

They throw a rope with a seat over the cable and lower you down.
