Snowbird opens first-in-the-nation balcony trams

What they're saying: "It's really smooth and quiet and serene. It gives you a cool perspective of the mountains that you don't get from inside the tram," Ski Utah president and CEO Nathan Rafferty told Axios.

Details: The 13-minute ride takes you to Hidden Peak via a 1.6-mile cable.

• The balconies feature tall railings and fit 11 guests at a time.
• Roof access will be available in only the summer and fall.

Cost: All-day tram passes for adults cost between $46 and $50. Accessing the balcony is an additional $20.

• Season pass holders only pay the $20 balcony fee.
