🚠 🪚 This past week was a big one for The Gatlinburg Tram!

Twice a year we perform this cable adjustment by pulling the Tram cab back with a seven point pulley system. Then, we can detach the haul rope and remove it from the wedge lock and mechanical socket to trim the length of the cable. The haul rope stretches over time with use and changes in weather. This time we are cutting about seven feet off of the end of the cable, then inspecting every piece of the clamp and wedge lock before reassembling it and attaching back onto the Tram cabin.

This is just one of a number of maintenance projects to ensure smooth, safe, and reliable operation of The Gatlinburg Tram throughout the summer and into the next ski season. The entire team works tirelessly to ensure every guest enjoys a magical experience as they take flight over the Great Smoky Mountains on The Gatlinburg Tram!

Follow along as we continue extensive work across Ober Gatlinburg during our annual shutdown period. Also, join us for our re-opening on Thursday, May 14!

🔧🚠 Today, the Tram Maintenance crew was working high above Gatlinburg, performing maintenance on the slack carriers.

⚙️ The Tram lines each have nine slack carriers and three are serviced for maintenance every year during this period. The service to the carriers includes inspecting the wheels and bearings, inspecting the frames of the carriers, and torquing all bolts on the assembly to ensure everything is in good shape.

This is just one of many maintenance tasks over the next few weeks that is performed on the Tram to ensure safe and reliable operations during the summer and the next winter season.

The Gatlinburg Tram and Ober Gatlinburg is excited to welcome guest back to the mountain starting Thursday, May 14, for the summer season. There are several other exciting projects and new additions happening across the mountain, so be sure to stay tuned to our social platforms and website for updates!

🌕 Ober the top views of the moon tonight ✨

The Gatlinburg Tram operates daily until the mountain closes, which is as late as 9pm on weekends, so you can catch some amazing starlight views above the city of Gatlinburg after a fun-filled day on the slopes at Ober Mountain!

As skiing wraps up soon for the season, we are welcoming spring with a plethora of other activities, including the Smoky Mountain Bobsled (opening soon), Tennessee Flyer Mountain Coaster, ice skating rink, and scenic views that will start to green in the coming weeks. It's always a good time to visit the mountain at Ober!
