While any development plans (and UCP connections) deserve scrutiny, they should stand or fall on their own merits. I haven't been in a few years, but Norquay is a great little hill and has evolved nicely over the last few years. More parking surrounding the townsite and developing a transit hub definitely makes sense, and I don't have any particular objection to the gondola idea.

Yeah, I enjoy Norquay on mellower, quick drive days.

There used to be a gondola from the train station at Lake Louise up to the ski hill.

Crazy, I had no idea. When was this? Any safeguards for when it crossed the #1, that you recall?

I think Canmore could use one up to the Nordic Centre, too.

That’d be neat. Perhaps less Pie in the Sky, than Mr Turcotte’s Gondola up Lady Mac, or his Casino, on the sunny side of town.

The common refrain that Parks Canada doesn't allow any new development in the parks is a bit silly IMO, considering LL has built 2 new lifts and SSV has upgraded one in the last few years.

Concessions were made.
