SOUTH LAKE TAHOE – A chair fell from Heavenly Mountain Resort’s North Bowl chairlift today, resulting in 65 people being stranded for two hours before being evacuated from the lift.
Just before 11 a.m. on January 3, 2016, the unoccupied chair fell off the cable and the lift was immediately shut down.
Lara Miller of South Lake Tahoe was among those stranded on the chairlift. She said the resort’s ski patrol checked on the stranded skiers during the two hour ordeal.
