The new tunnel is a first in the North American ski industry. As the story explains, a moving carpet will traverse the 600 foot tunnel through the mountain 300 vertical feet below Gorilla Pass.
I was up there with Marc_C. We took a boatload of photos, so I wanted to use the forums to share more of those with you.
