"At around 1:30pm on Sunday, January 11th, the Boulder Chairlift at Heavenly in California came to a stop, forcing a lift-wide evacuation by ski patrol. According to KOLOTV, the ski patrol team was forced to evacuate the chair person-by-person, hoisting a seat for the chairlift rider to sit on and return to the ground with. Some guests, including Judy Spees, were forced to wait as long as 2.5 hours for rescue."
"Fortunately those rescued from the chairlift were apparently given a free ski ticket for the inconvenience. According to the Heavenly website, the Boulder Chairlift is currently on hold as of 2:00pm on Monday, January 12th. Huge shoutout to the ski patrol for handling this one so well. 20 of 27 chairlifts are open at Heavenly, in addition to 111 of 111 trails."
