Guide
It's about a three minute ride up to the top of the mountain. As we pass the two towers the gondolla may sway a little.
Man
This thing is safe, right?
Yes, you don't have anything to worry about. We do about 100 trips a day up the mountain, and these tours have been going on for over ten years without any accidents. Keep your eyes open for wildlife as we ascend. It isn't uncommon to see deer and even bears.
Woman
What's that mountain to the left called?
That's Mount Karen. And to the right of that with the three small points is Mount Brown. Now, if you look up straight ahead, you should be able to see a large eagle's nest. Does everyone see it there?
Are there any baby birds?
That's a good question. I haven't seen any yet, but we usually see them around this time of year.
What's that lake down there, to the right of the green meadow?
I'm glad you asked. That's John Lake. It's actually a man made pond that was built as part of a conservation effort over twenty years ago. During the 70's there was a lot of clearcutting of forests in the area, and much of the wildlife was lost. Since John Lake was built, ducks, swans, and geese have returned to the area.
Is this the highest mountain in this region?
No, actually, Mount Heather, which you we will be able to see in just a minute or so has the highest peak. But, this is the highest mountain for recreational purposes like skiing and guided tours.
Can you ski throughout the year?
No, it warms up enough to actually suntan up there in the summer. Oh, look everyone. There are two deer feeding in the clearing right below us.
Thanks, that should be a great photo. So... what is there to do besides ski at the top of the hill at this time of year?
Oh, there's plenty to do. We have horseback riding, snowmobile tours, and a petting zoo for children. If you look to your left you'll see the snowmobile trail going through the mountain.

My daughter wants to know if we're going to be be passing any castles today?
Castles. No I'm afraid all of the castles are further into the city. We're going to be staying near the coast today. I can give you a map of the city, though. It shows where all of the castles are.
Sorry, I have another question.
No problem. That's what I'm here for.
