Now you know why you shouldn't bounce the chair.

Hehe, I bet they had the chair on slow due to wind and some idiot skiers started bouncing their skis.

Wow, how scary! I wonder how old that chair was.

haha, I love how he says 'a PULLEY system" as if it was some crazy thing. The Device and method of evacuating the chair is rather normal.

BEST part of this story is that the chair was called 'the spillway'.

@bricemilleson Yes, we do. All over america.

@UKTuTS Ummm, just about anyone who skis on a regular basis. In fact most lifts dont close for high winds until after gusts over 45mph, and those are the older ones. A high speed detachable quad can safely operate with a consistent 40mph wind. However direction can also play a factor on when a lift may close due to winds.
