Leitner-Poma will be building the new WiFi enabled Gondola at Vail

Good job Tom!

Leitner-Poma just announced it got the contract to build the new gondola at the Vail Ski area. See Leitner-Poma to build the state-of-the-art gondola in Vail to read the announcement. See Vail installing new Gondolas for the 50th Anniversary with WiFi for more information about the Gondola and Vail’s decision to put the new lift in.

Heated seats, Kenwood radio and Wi-Fi will be in each gondola cabin. Where else but Vail would this even be considered! “Like nothing on earth” will take on a new meaning.

The gondola will be ready for the 2012-2013 ski season which will also be Vail’s 50^th anniversary.

Vail and USFS hunting down pirates on the slopes – illegal guiding activities

Teaching skiing or boarding on US Forest Service land without a permit or on someone else's permit without their permission is pirating and a violation of the law.

The Denver Post in an article Resorts run Resorts run stings to nab unauthorized instructors on their slopes brings the issue of "private" ski instructors to the front. Ski Instructors who are not wearing the ski resorts uniform or employed by the resort are pirates; people guiding on federal land without a permit.

Vail has had enough and in conjunction with the US Forest Service has started cracking down on the practice. Pirates that are caught are fined $545 (or more) and banned by Vail from all of their resorts for life.

These article follows an article on how Vail is catching people trying to sneak onto the lifts with other peoples season passes.
