Environment

Foot Print

The amount of land to be cleared of trees to construct and operate this lift is 68% less than a conventional lift.

  • The average High Speed Quad lift foot print is 8 hectares.
  • Due to the limited number of towers and the height above the forest the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola foot print will be approximately 2.5 hectares.

Energy Consumption

Because the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola gains minimal elevation the energy consumption required to operate it is approximately 50% of the Village Gondola and similar to Jersey Cream or Emerald Express.

Car Travel

We project that this mountain link will reduce the need to commute between mountains via vehicle and ease congestion on the roads for those who need to travel by vehicle.
