Squamish RCMP say the damage to the Sea to Sky Gondola occurred at about 4 a.m. and no one was hurt

Police say they’re working with the West Vancouver Police Department and Integrated Police Dog Services in the investigation and are asking people to stay out of the area, including climbers and hikers.Vandals were blamed for cutting the nearly six-centimetre thick cable in August 2019 while the ride was closed, sending about 30 gondolas smashing to the ground.The business reopened earlier this year after a new cable was sent from Europe and all of the gondolas were replaced.

At the time, general manager Kirby Brown said a new state-of-the-art security system had also been installed to ensure the gondola was protected from any future criminal activity.

Cables on gondola in Squamish, B.C., cut for 2nd timeThe cables on the Sea to Sky Gondola in Squamish, B.C., appear to have been deliberately cut for a second time in a little over a year. This is clearly a disgruntled psychopath who was either a jilted former employee or someone who didn’t have a good experience and didn’t get a refund. Someone really really can’t let go of things. Cameras? Alarm system? 24 hour security? Why can’t this be protected? Surely it’s worth the investment to protect it. Whoever would do this is absolutely vile. This is a fantastic attraction bringing enjoyment & the beautiful outdoors to locals & people from around the world. I feel so bad for the owners and employees who rely on this for their income.
