This led to the first Asset Management Period (AMP), whereby the newly privatised water boards tendered contracts to construction firms to help keep infrastructure properly maintained, and â more importantly â update the industryâs antiquated assets, some of which dated back to Victorian times.
Where is the Sea to Sky Gondola. The Sea to Sky Gondola is located at 36800 Highway 99, also known as the Sea to Sky Highway, just 2 km south of Squamish and close to an hourâs drive from downtown Vancouver. Its basecamp and parking lot are right next to the highway, and the gondola terminates 885 metres or 2,950 feet above sea level.
It's got the longest free span between ropeway towers (3.03 kilometers/1.88 miles) and it's the gondola with the highest point above the ground (436 meters/1,430 feet). At the opening ceremony in 2008, several Red Bull athletes base-jumped from the middle of the gondola.
