And the winner is...

BreckConnect. That's the winning name submitted for the new eight-person gondola that will connect the town of Breckenridge with the ski resort's Peaks 7 and 8. The resort sponsored a naming contest for the gondola and received more than 250 entries.
The BreckConnect will start at the Breckenridge Transportation Center, in the parking lot right off Main Street, and have terminals at both Peak 7 and Peak 8. It will also have a mid-station at Shock Hill.
Here's some gondola trivia from the ski resort:
+ Ten-minute ride time from Transit Center to the Peak 8 terminal
+ Two mid-stations at Shock Hill and Peak 7 base area
+ 7,592 feet long
+ 396.1 foot vertical rise
+ 28 towers
+ Capacity of 3,000 per hour
+ 121 cabins
