Gondola mountain bike carriers
NOTE: Gondola models have to be built with a prototype that needs to be tested the fall prior to your operating season
Click on the video below to see Deasonbuilt's bike carriers in action at Whistler's Creekside gondola. Notice how easy it is for riders to load and unload their own bikes.
Deasonbuilt gondola bike carriers are being used at these resorts:
- Whistler Canada (Creekside) - detachable Poma gondola
- Steamboat CO - one eight passenger detachable Doppelmayr gondola
- Northstar at Tahoe CA - one six passenger detachable Doppelmayr gondola and one eight passenger/six passenger chair detachable Doppelmayr "chondola"
- Sun Valley ID - one eight passenger detachable Doppelmayr gondola
Sun Valley ID
Gondola bike carriers are ideal for a gondola that you're already running in summer operation. These carriers hold up to 4 mountain bikes securely and can be designed to fit most models and applications.
Northstar
The bike carrier pictured was installed in 2007 at Northstar's Zephyr "Chondola". What's a Chondola? A Chondola is a chair/gondola combination. Notice the "six pack" chair behind it? Northstar runs two gondolas with Deasonbuilt bike carriers.
Steamboat
In 2012 Deasonbuilt redesigned the Gondola bike carrier. We made it lighter and easier to load. The new design comes in two main pieces that can be unbolted for storage. This new design allows us to offer a tough hot dipped galvanized carrier instead of a powder coated finish. The bike carrier shown is one of twenty units built for Steamboat's gondola in the spring of 2013.
Whistler
In 2015 Deasonbuilt modified the single center pole design. Instead of utilizing the "four point" suspension hanger for the Gondola cabin, we simplified the attachment. This makes the carrier easier to take on and off and it provides more head room for the loader/unloader. Pictured here is the hanging of the test/prototype. The model was fully hot dipped galvanized. Deasonbuilt manufactured 20 units for Whistler's Creekside gondola and they were put into service in early August 2015.
