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.
