I'm presuming you mean DMC. It's a multi person stand up gondola type lift, quite common in French resorts. In this case it's the Aup De Veran AFAIR.
It all depends on the way the wind is blowing, Flaine is in a bowl.
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind...... :mrgreen:

Chairlifts usually run in winds like that. Depending on the direction of the wind, the DMC might be affected.

Whats that in English for those who aren't au fait with all terminology related to the mountains?

The Aup de Veran is a 4 person gondola, the DMC (holds c20 pax) takes you to the Grands Platieres, the highest point in the area, with spectacular views of Mont Blanc.
I'd expect the wind to be no problem as that's only a breeze.
