They let sheep loose on the slopes of Snowbasin every fall, and we mountain bikers often come across them and their dogs that do their best to chase us off. Maybe I should try this with one of the sheep on my bike :0

Or Alaska, where the men are men and the women win the iditarod.

Not a goofy photo, but some goofy facts. In the book SKI FIFTY YEARS IN NORTH AMERICA, it states the Cannon Mountain tram carries 500 people in one trip, and the old tram carried 200 people.

That is quite a load!

I'm guessing it means that once the first car leaves the loading area and gone one lap around and back to the top, 500 people have ridden to the top.

- youngsters and your new math

I'm guessing the Ski Fifty Years In North America publication is Colorado, Oregon, Washington or Alaska? :eyeroll:

"Two cabins, each with a capacity for 80 passengers and one attendant, travel at a speed of 1,500 feet (460 m) per minute, with an hourly passenger capacity of 1,540, or 770 in each direction, more than three times the capacity of the original tramway." (Wikip.)
