This season brought a worrying spike in lift incidents—and it wasn’t just one resort or one region. 🚨🎿 ▶️ In December, five guests fell nearly 30 feet at Heavenly Resort after a chair slid backwards on the Comet Express. ▶️ In New Hampshire, a lift chair detached and fell at Attitash, injuring a skier and prompting a state investigation. ▶️ At Kicking Horse in BC, a gondola cabin separated from its cable, triggering a dramatic helicopter evacuation. ▶️ And in one of the season’s most tragic events, a rider at Red Lodge Mountain was ejected by high winds and later passed away. While lift riding remains incredibly safe, these high-profile incidents have raised serious questions: Are resorts cutting costs at the expense of safety? And with operational challenges and climate shifts, is this the new reality? #peakrankings #LiftSafety #SkiIndustry #ChairliftSafety #MountainNews #SkiLife #Winter2025 #SkiTrip #SkierAwareness #ClimateAndSafety #BackOnTheLift #peakrankings #werankpeaks #ski...
