Accessibility
The Skyway Gondola is wheelchair accessible year-round. In the winter, our team places a carpet-like path over the snow to assist with a smoother transition. At the summit, the unloading platform is flush and heated, so no need to worry about ground snow up top! Our Rosebrook Lodge is outfitted with automatic doors and an elevator bringing you a front row view.
Have a pet?
Bring them along on the gondola ride. Animals must be on leashes while on property and you are responsible for cleaning up after them. Service animals are allowed indoors while on property, however, personal pets are not. This includes the Base Lodge and the Rosebrook Lodge.
