South Lake Tahoe, Calif. – Several people were evacuated from the Comet Express chairlift at Heavenly Mountain Resort on Sunday after a mechanical malfunction caused the lift to stop operating.

Heavenly operations staff immediately responded to the lift and started the evacuation of all guests from the lift, using rope harnesses to lower the skiers and riders to the ground, 20 to 40 feet below.

There were no injuries reported.

Witnesses said the staff got everyone down quickly and very efficiently.

Heavenly lift maintenance personnel are currently assessing the mechanical issue
