Salt Lake Transit News Thread

Aerial structures are not always immune to avalanches either. If an avalanche or rock slide takes out a pylon or support structure, the results are catastrophic. For a road it is an inconvenience (same for a train).

However, I think a gondola is the cheapest solution to avalanches - but not in the way we're all thinking. Just run a gondola between the two canyons, and if one canyon is closed from a slide you can at least get everyone out of the closed canyon through the open one. Depending on the capacity of the gondola, maybe you could even keep the resorts open.

A tunnel between the two canyons would also work, and may even be better. I've heard rumors that some old mining tunnels either already connect the two canyons, or are very close to connecting with each other, and that a sort of mini-subway could be created. Has anyone else heard about this?
