The gondola cabins are painted in Verkehrsscswarz Black and Ferrari Red with shiny silver aspen leaf logos. Every fifth cabin is red and every other red cabin allows pets. Each new cabin includes an informative panel featuring historical and environmental facts about Aspen and Snowmass. The Silver Queen Gondola is run completely on renewable energy credits.
