Reply to comment by Hot-Specialist-6824 in the cannon mountain tram needs repairs and Sununu proposes replacing the tram with a gondola to cut costs by comefromawayfan2022
Between loon mtn, wildcat and bretton woods there's already 3 gondolas in the area surrounding Franconia notch that people can ride if they so choose. There's only one tram

The only gondolas in NH are at Loon and Bretton Woods. Loon’s is such a POS, it shouldn’t even count. Wildcat is in Pinkham Notch. Wildcat has a scenic chairlift. Definitely no gondola. That place is decrepit, especially since Vail did a hostile takeover. Bretton Woods is in Crawford Notch. Saying those areas are in Franconia Notch is like saying Burke and Jay are in Franconia Notch.

To be fair peak resorts (prior owner) didn’t give a shit about wildcat either.

I'm not sure if wildcat has ran their lift in the summer since COVID. But they actually remove the chairs and run gondola cabins in the summer.

Loon has their gondola scheduled to be replaced next year.

Got a source, or just another hallucination of yours? They do plan to replace it, but not until 2026 at the earliest according to this: https://www.loonflightpath.com/

Only that I worked in the industry for 20 years and I still have family who works for Loon.
It was originally supposed to be done in 2021, but they lost a ton of money due to Covid, so they pushed it back.

Loon never announced when they would be replacing their gondola and it definitely isn't happening next year. It will be a multi year project when they do.

I wish they replaced the gondola before the Kang tbh

Wildcat does not have a gondola or tram.

They actually used to remove the chairs on the quad and replace them with gondola cabins in the summer. https://youtu.be/yXAOUKPUr6E

They have a gondola in the summer months. I've been on it and that's what I'm referring to.

They must've changed it over then because pre COVID it was a gondola. I've been on it multiple times and have pics

Definitely not removed in 2004. I have pics from 2019 of riding it
