The popular gondola at the Heavenly ski resort in South Lake Tahoe is running again.
The tourist attraction for skiers and non-skiers alike had been closed since Jan. 3 due to a problem with one of the gondola's bearings.
The problem was fixed in time for the busy Martin Luther King Jr. day holiday weekend.
