That lightly tinted brown plexiglass is annoying to photograph through. It's so frustrating to feel the light wisps of cool mountain air coming in through the tiny vents -- it's cool outside, just baking inside the gondolas. The woman I came down the mountain with was seriously ready to chuck...and I overheard staff saying that there have been a few incidents on opening day with those overcome with nausea.

I did mention the lightning, though. I hope we can make a trip up together sometime. A hike (followed by a long spell in a teahouse) would be a great way to spend the day.
