This past Saturday Sun Valley unveiled it's new gondola from the base of River Run to the Roundhouse Lodge. Not exactly the most spectacular distance by means of any gondola or tram but huge in the effect that it is making on our little town. 3,200 people waited in line at the base of the mountain to get a chance for a free ride up the brand new Dopplemeyer cars. Free hot chocolate and cookies helped the wait along with a little jib park to entertain people in line. Ruscitto/Latham/Blanton has been working on this in conjunction with Sun Valley Co., for over a year now so it's always great to see a project come to completion. And the views from the Roundhouse were spectacular! Some people participated in a snow shoe race from the base to Roundhouse Lodge and then enjoyed a ride down. We had one of Zach's cousin's visiting for the weekend so we took the easy way up and down. Our little town is thrilled to have the new feature on our ski mountain. Hope everyone gets to share in our excitement with a little Sun Valley skiing this winter :)
