Gondola between Ridge-Heavenly set to begin running
People riding the new gondola between Ridge Tahoe and Heavenly Mountain Resort can relax a bit. Personnel from the Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District were trained on rescue operations on Friday — just in case an emergency ever arises.
The gondola car, which originally was scheduled to begin operation in December, will be running this week.
