Using the world's most environmentally progressive construction techniques, Sunshine Village started work today on a spectacular replacement gondola designed to forever end base-area liftlines at the world famous Banff National Park ski and snowboard resort. Only hours after a final construction permit was issued by Parks Canada, work crews from Poma Lifts and other contractors moved onto the site to begin replacing the existing, 21-year-old lift with an ultra modern high-speed gondola built with world-leading technology.
