As many as 300 people were stranded at the top of Sulphur Mountain after a technical issue on Monday disabled the Banff Gondola.
RCMP told CTV News they were called by number of people who said they were trapped on the mountain following the shut down.
A power outage reported by Fortis Alberta is believed to be the cause, but no details have been confirmed.
There is a visitor building and restaurant at the top, I expect they all crammed into it. Hopefully no one was left in a gondola car.
Got to 9 C overnight in town of Banff, would have been much colder up on the mountaintop.
if people were prepared for the walk down, why even take the gondola in the first place?
Oh, its so the people who are unable to do the hike are still able to get to the top, and back, without having the physical ability to do so. Hopefully you understand just how stupid your statement really is
Haha you think going up is equivalent to going down in mountaineering?
No going down is way harder on the joints.
