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 hope no one was hurt, but honestly that sounds like a good time.
So long as you’re not actually on the cable car (which does at least have this thing for emergency disembarkation)
Yeah, that would suck so bad with that many people. Though, I suppose that’s how they got up to the visitor centre in the first place.
