"....And more likely they lowered them off..."

That seems to be the case. [from reading the article....]

LOL The Blackcomb-Whistler tram, which I rode about 35-40(?) years ago, did seem about that high off the ground.

[DesertRhino]

Yes, they lower them. They are not rappelling.

We rode up the tram last March.

The elevation at the Ten3 restaurant is not the only thing high. It’s very upscale with New York and San Francisco prices without the crime. Dinner choices start at $29 and go above $50. Check out their menus at the link:
