The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway will be closed on Saturday, February 25 due to extreme weather forecasts.

According to General Manager Nancy Nichols, “Out of an abundance of caution, we have made the advance decision to close on Saturday when the worst of the storm is expected to hit. We regret this closure, but safety is always our primary concern.”

The Tramway is expected to reopen on Sunday, but please check www.pstramway.com for updates.

According to Vice President of Maintenance Joe Rose, “Our electrical control board began having issues on Sunday. We believe the issues were caused by power surges from the storm. We have since remedied the issue and have run multiple tests to make sure everything is operating as usual.”

We thank our patrons for their understanding during the past several days of non-operation.
