SNOWBIRD, Utah — Snowbird in Little Cottonwood Canyon said that scenic rides on its new aerial tram cabins will begin July 15 and that both new cabins will be operable this winter.

It follows an incident in late May in which one of the new cabins was damaged beyond repair during installation.

Looks like rigging failed as they were jostling the cabin onto the hanger mounting bolts. Thankfully no one was injured. pic.twitter.com/a99EDIGQbX
