New gondola opens in time for ski season at Sun Valley

The new Sun Valley Roundhouse Gondola celebrated its grand opening Saturday.

Nine Sun Valley Olympians were some of the first to ride the new gondola on Bald Mountain. A spokesperson with the Sun Valley Resort said that 3,200 people took advantage of the free gondola ride.

The gondola carries passengers up two-thousand feet in less than eight minutes to the resort's Roundhouse restaurant midway up the mountain. Sun Valley's 74th ski season starts on Thanksgiving Day.
