Jackson Hole Aerial Tram

Jackson Hole Aerial Tram is located in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and has become an iconic symbol of the town. Located at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, it takes people to the top of Rendezvous Mountain. The first tram started operation on July 31, 1966, while the second tram started operation on December 20, 2008. The current tram is in length. Starting at an elevation of , it takes passengers up to an elevation of in approximately nine minutes. It can hold up to 100 people plus an operator.
==History==
The original tram took a total of 26 months to build, from May 1964-July 1966. Its maiden voyage was on July 31, 1966. It had a length of with a total of five towers. It carried 52 passengers in winter and 45 passengers in summer to the top in 10.5 minutes. Two thirds of the money funded for it came from federal money. $1 million of a $1.6 million grant came from a government program called Area Redevelopment Administration which proposed to loan funds to seasonally depressed communities.
After 40 years of service, the Kemmerer family (the owners of the resort) decided to retire the tram in September 2005. An inspection revealed that the tram would last for a couple more years, but the family thought it best to decommission it before any safety hazards raised.
Designs for the new tram were released and approved in early 2007 with demolition and construction beginning in April of that year, the first day of the summer season. The Swiss company Doppelmayr created the five steel towers, terminals and mechanics. In March 2008 the company shipped everything to Houston, Texas in 50 sea containers. From there, all the components traveled on train or road to Jackson Hole, Wy. Construction was completed on time in December 2008. The original $20 million they thought it was going to take to make the new tram later became $31 million which was completely funded by the resort.
