nope, call the snow phone, says it will be the last weekend to ride the tram just to ride the tram. says NO skis or snowboards will be allowed. bring a big backpack with ski blades in it

If that is the case, then I wonder if they are planning on opening next week.  This is my reasoning:

originally Customer Appreciate Days was supposed to be open for  Customer Appreciation weekends, 10/31 & 11/01, as well as 11/07 & 11/08, from 11am to 5pm with projected opening day as November 21st.

HOWEVER

If they aren't going to stay open 11/07 & 11/08 for Customer Appreciate Weekends, then perhaps their opening day got bumped forward a bit?

I don't think it is going to happen anymore..their site is updated saying:

"The Aerial Tram is open for Customer Appreciation Days on November 7 and 8, from 11am to 5pm (conditions permitting). Just donate one non-perishable food item or $2 per person and receive a complimentary Tram ride! All donations will benefit the Utah Food Bank and the Wasatch Adaptive Sports Program."
