Quick google search - Gondolas at ski resorts generally shut down when gusts reach 100km/h. Yesterday's gusts reached 78km/h.

There was a wind storm a few summers ago when they shut down the lines.
Trains were running yesterday, but not only delayed by passengers, but crews needing to clean debris from the tracks. I imagine that that would be more significant reason to shut down over the wind itself.
