BEMUS POINT, NY DINE NOW.....9 HEATED SKI GONDOLAS!
EXPERIENCE DINING
LIKE NO OTHER
We've transformed nine authentic ski gondolas, sourced from Colorado (off the Killington, Vt lift) into cozy, private dining spaces. Each gondola is outfitted with tables, Bluetooth speakers, heaters, and soft twinkle lights to create a warm unforgettable atmosphere.
It's more than just dinner...it's an experience!

About GUPPY’S gondola dining cabins…
Our gondola cabins previously shuttled skiers at Killington Ski Area in Vermont. The ski area upgraded the cabins on its K1 lift in 2018, and the old gondola cabins eventually made their way to Bemus Point, NY. We worked with The Gondola Shop, a gondola restoration company in Fruita, Colorado to obtain our nine gondola cabins. Much of the mechanical equipment in the cabins such as the door mechanisms, cables and kerosene floor heaters were removed. Then we equipped each cabin with an electric heater, twinkly lights and a blue tooth speaker. We are looking to put in mini air conditioners for summer dining! Christy’s dad Tom worked tirelessly to get the tables constructed and perfectly sized. The gondola’s original bench seating remains intact, as does the unique artwork on the exterior, designed by Vermont artists decades ago.
