Today, the Summit Daily News reported that BreckConnect will be the name of the new gondola which runs from downtown Breckenridge to the base of Peak 8 and ultimately, to Peak 7. The new logo design depicts arrowheads pointing outward from each end of the name. The arrows represent the gondola's connection of the town with the ski area, and signify the direct route and speed of travel.
The BreckConnect Gondola will be one of the most modern gondolas in North America.
Right now, the ski resort plans to operate the gondola in both the winter and summer. It will have a ride time of approximately seven and a half minutes from bottom to top, and will be able to carry 3,000 people per hour.
