A few years ago someone was pushed off and information technology wasn't exactly a pow day. They stopped the lift for about an hr. I was literally about 4 feet away from getting off. I thought climbing downward cause it was merely nearly a 5 foot drib but mount safety was in that location and they said if we jumped off we'd get our passes pulled. It sucked and so bad.

MinggA few years ago someone was pushed off and it wasn't exactly a pow day. They stopped the elevator for virtually an hour. I was literally about 4 anxiety away from getting off. I thought climbing down cause information technology was only nigh a 5 foot drop but mount safety was there and they said if we jumped off we'd get our passes pulled. It sucked so bad.

Nearly 90 minutes on a chair at Fernie when it broke down. Was a damn cold day too, -18C or so. Patrol were contemplating starting a roped evacuation when some mechanic found his big hammer and got it running once more.

I was in 6th grade at the schoolhouse ski club, we had 5 min until the bus left. Being the insubordinate I was, i decided to accept one more run down the "Black Diamond" (its Michigan, the black diamonds are equivalent to easier blues out west). Elevator got stuck, I ended upward getting left there cause the bus left

COPPER MOUNTAIN WAS THE WORST HOUR AND A HALF. Information technology was a bitter cold morning with a fresh thirteen" of that cold fume powder. I was lucky enough to go five or six runs in before BAM!!! Sudden stop like my bowels later on I eat to much cheese. Waiting amongst strangers did non make things any improve since no 1 wanted to huddle together for warmth. BASTARDS!!!!!!!! After about xxx to forty minutes, a guy in the chair in front of me couldn't have it anymore and jumped. People started to cheer simply they weren't auspicious for him. The lifts were turning once again. 10 minutes after I reached the superlative to have ski patrol hand me a free anyway ticket (that i subsequently sold for hire). My merely thought was of the guy who jumped and missed out on his complimentary ticket.

Information technology was a really shit beginning to the season a couple winters ago at Whitefish, and so to get to the lesser me and a couple friends had to download to the bottom. For some reason the chair stopped on the way downwards for like 45 minutes. It was shitty haha we tried calling ski patrol but every time they answered we get the same we're working on it answer. We probably called them like 10 times haha

I got stuck twice at my domicile mount both in the aforementioned calendar month. 1st fourth dimension we were the last people on the mountain on one of the first days of the season. It was about nine:30 PM (night skiing till x:00 PM makes up for the 1190 foot summit superlative). In one area they don't light the lift, so its pretty much pitch black. I guess the people idea nobody else was left, so they shut the lift down. About twenty minutes afterwards they realized in that location was a grouping of 4 guys however on the lift and had to restart it support just for u.s.. 2d fourth dimension a piddling kid fell of the lift, and information technology wasn't a pretty sight. The elevator was stopped for about xl minutes, and I got stuck right above were this kid had fallen and e'er since and so I don't like going up that certain elevator.

got stuck on imperial at breck one time in white out conditions with 75mph gusts... couldnt run into the ground below and the chair was being blown around so violently we were all holding on for dear life. ski patrol cruised by at 1 point and told usa 'it was gonna be a minute' because they couldnt commencement the lift upwardly till the wind died down
lasted about thirty mins before the air current died down for long enough for them to articulate the lift and close it for the twenty-four hour period

Wyo2plankerCOPPER Mountain WAS THE WORST Hour AND A Half. It was a bitter cold morning with a fresh 13" of that cold smoke pulverization. I was lucky enough to get five or six runs in before BAM!!! Sudden stop like my bowels after I eat to much cheese. Waiting amongst strangers did not make things any meliorate since no one wanted to huddle together for warmth. BASTARDS!!!!!!!! Afterwards well-nigh thirty to forty minutes, a guy in the chair in front of me couldn't take it anymore and jumped. People started to cheer but they weren't cheering for him. The lifts were turning again. 10 minutes later I reached the top to take ski patrol hand me a free anyhow ticket (that i later on sold for rent). My only idea was of the guy who jumped and missed out on his gratis ticket.
I heard virtually this from a ski patroller. Evidently what happened was some idiot was riding lonely on the chair and sitting to the far side and as it entered the tiptop last, a large wind gust hit the chair bravado it to the side. This caused information technology to miss the guide rail in the terminal so it didn't disassemble properly and pulled the cable off of the guide wheels in the terminal. Apparently they were near 10 minutes from calling a full line evac before lift maintenance was finally able to get it fixed.

I was on a chair at Lutsen last yr and information technology got stuck for 30 minutes, but lucky for me it stopped past chance right over a loading surface area that they use during they use during the summertime. It was half fashion in the mountain and most v feet off the ground so it worked out pretty skilful for me. Anybody else nonetheless had to sit in that location.

rozboonAbout 90 minutes on a chair at Fernie when it broke down. Was a damn cold mean solar day too, -18C or and then. Patrol were contemplating starting a roped evacuation when some mechanic establish his large hammer and got it running again.
It always makes me laugh when people conplain about those temperatures. i wish it was that warm all the fourth dimension where im from. Instead it pretty regularly gets to -40℃ where im from. The coldest day of skiing i had was -56℃

In one case I was at Saddleback in January and information technology was -23 with the current of air arctic and the lift stopped because the wind was too powerful and I sat six chairs from the meridian for about 20 minutes earlier they could get information technology downwards once more
