Update: Gondola Diversification – Scotland and the Alps

Post by Nicholas Chu

A few months ago, guest contributor Ross Edgar wrote a great piece on the diversification of gondolas in Scotland and the Alps.

Last time he visited, he was unable to get a good photo of the system’s “Freight Deck”, which essentially is a cabin specifically designed to carry equipment and goods.

Luckily for us, he took a trip again to Nevis Range this past week and was able to get a great capture this time around.

If you haven’t already, you should definitely take some time to read the articles (Scotland part 1, Alps part 2).

He provides a fantastic insight and overview on how ski resorts are now offering a greater assortment of recreational activities aside from winter sports.

Thanks again to Ross for sharing with us the updates.
