At about 4:00 local time, the main cable of the Sea-to-Sky gondola in Squamish, British Columbia, Canada, was cut for the second time in just over a year, resulting in 30 cable cars falling to the ground. While no staff or guests were on the cable car line at the time of the incident, the damage is estimated to be in the millions of dollars. Teams have not been able to assess the exact extent of the damage, as smoke from forest fires have grounded helicopters. As of now, Royal Canadian Mounted Police of Squamish are investigating the incident, though no person or group has been accused of the act. The attraction is now closed until further notice though Kirby Brown, the gondola's general manager, said that the company is determined the rebuild the gondola ride.

The Sea-to-Sky gondola was first sabotaged in August 2019, when the main line was cut, and only reopened in February 2020. Rebuilding the line includes the installation of a new 4.4 kilometre (2.73 mile) 55 millimetre (2.16 inch) thick main cable line alongside a new security system.

Karen Elliot, the mayor of Squamish, said that the economic impact of the loss of a major attraction could affect the small town for months, especially due to low visitor rates amid the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. She said that she will work with local tourism agencies and the Squamish Chamber of Commerce to help support those working at the Sea-to-Sky gondola who have once again lost their jobs.
