Park City Quicksilver Gondola

The Quicksilver Gondola is the iconic lift connection that created the largest ski resort in the United States. It was built in 2015 by Doppelmayr as Vail Resorts integrated Park City Mountain Resort with Canyons. The lift travels from The Colony development at Canyons in White Pine Canyon, downhill from the Iron Mountain Express, and to a midstation located on Pinecone Ridge. From there, the gondola travels to the base of the Silverlode Express and Miners Camp lodge, including a massive span of Thaynes Canyon in the process. The lift has a vertical rise of 1,686 feet with a total inclined length of 7,776 feet and a capacity of 1,500 people per hour. The lift has CWA Omega IV cabins, Agamatic grips, and UNI-G stations. The midstation is not a UNI-G station, limited to only covers over the tire banks and bullwheels. The midstation is also noteworthy because the line gauge and tower style actually changes, from a shorter width and American-style towers on the Canyons side to larger width European-style towers on the Park City side, due to the span over Thaynes Canyon. Guests can ski down from both sides, either down two blues into the Canyons or the expert terrain of Pinecone Ridge into Park City. The Quicksilver Gondola completely revolutionized the skiing in Park City, stitching two resorts together with an impressive piece of ropeway engineering. From steep sections to the midstation and huge span, Quicksilver has it all for any avid fan of ski lifts.

This lift is awesome. It’s crazy going over the giant Thaynes canyon.

Why do some gondolas and chairlifts go up on the left side and some on the right? Is this one a left handed lift?
