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.
I wouldn’t call it leisurely. Anyone slightly out of shape or with knee issues would struggle.
Absolutely! I went up with my dad years ago. No way could he have walked down the mountain.
