Sea to Sky Gondola Annual Maintenance Closure: November 16–26
10 November, 2026
Sea to Sky Gondola will be closed November 16–26, 2026, for annual maintenance. We’ll reopen Friday, November 27, with a festive Summit for Spirit of the Season.
Why do we close for annual maintenance?
Our annual closure gives the team dedicated time for scheduled maintenance that supports the safety and reliability of the gondola.
There’s plenty happening behind the scenes to keep things running. Take a look at our 2024 maintenance story.
What should hikers know during the closure?
No gondola downloads will be available from November 16–26. If you hike up, you will need to hike down.
If you still choose to hike the trail during the closure, plan for the full return hike, check current trail and weather conditions, and allow enough daylight for both the ascent and descent.
What’s happening when we reopen?
We’ll welcome you back on November 27 for the start of Spirit of the Season, running through December 31.
Explore the decorated Spirit Trail, settle into the Summit Lodge for a warm drink, and make time for the festivities. Our Christmas Tree Lighting takes place Saturday, November 28, with more seasonal events to enjoy through December.
