- It has been one challenging year for the Sea to Sky Gondola in Canada with the multiple shutdowns due to sabotage and COVID-19. Over a year ago, the haul rope was cut causing the system to halt operations. Shortly after re-opening in February, the gondola was forced to shut down again along with many businesses in Squamish due to COVID-19.
