Re: New Gondola at Avon, Cloroado (by R P.):

"Avon Gondola Opens Avon’s Riverfront Express Gondola Opens Avon’s new Riverfront Express Gondola opened on December 20, 2007. The gondola goes directly from Avon's Town Center West to the base of Beaver Creek Mountain at Beaver Creek Landing, where skiers and snowboarders can hop on a lift to begin skiing or transfer to a Beaver Creek shuttle bus to reach Beaver Creek Village.
The gondola ride takes only three minutes and is quiet and scenic. The Town of Avon runs a Gondola Express skier shuttle bus that picks up residents and guests from around town and deposits them at Avon Station where they can easily transfer to the gondola.
The Town of Avon, in partnership with the Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa, operates the gondola. The gondola is free to the public and should provide a faster transportation for Avon skiers to Beaver Creek than the previous shuttle bus route. The gondola will also help reduce bus congestion at Beaver Creek."
