Cannon's tram is two huge cars that can hold 80 people. Skiers carry their skis on the cars with them. Loading happens at the same time as unloading, so as one goes up, one goes down.

A gondola is the same idea but there are more of them, but hold less people. About four. The cars stack up and slow down for the load/unload process. You load your skis on the outside of the gondola car.

Ah someone already brought up the stretch of 89 after exit 10 lol. Honestly, as long as you go slow and plan ahead you should be fine. Sounds stupid but I saw someone almost slide off the road at about exit 8ish not an hour ago because a whole line of us slowed down to like 45 (Roads got icey real fast) and they passed everyone at only like 65-70 and just started fishtailing. Luckily they get smart and slowed down and got back in line. The moral of the story, if someone is going real slow on 89 in bad weather, think twice about your speed.

89 is better off than the smaller back roads though! 89 is usually salted and plowed first, so that's something.

EDIT: I seemed to recall something about more rain fall in the center of 89 and I found an rainfall map: https://media.cocorahs.org/images/Composite-NH-1100w.png 89 starts in a lower rainfall zone and ends in one while passing right through a heavier section. So more rain/snow right in the middle where people coming from either end are unprepared for it.

> So give me your one good reason any passport should ever be mistakenly destroyed, let alone 40

One hypothesis: The hotel routinely collects sensitive documents to be shredded by a service. The front desk clerk put the passports in a large envelope, and another employee, possibly new in their position, mistakenly sent the wrong envelope to be shredded. Nobody knowingly shredded passports.
