## Caption

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?
