Skiers fall from chairlift at Maine resort December 28th, 2010 11:20 AM ET Share this on:Facebook Twitter Digg del.icio.us reddit Mixx MySpace StumbleUpon Share Comments (4 comments) Permalink Several people were injured Tuesday when a gust of wind sent skiers tumbling off a chairlift at a ski resort on Sugarloaf Mountain, Maine. CNN Newsource employee Rob Atkinson was among about 100 skiers stranded on the chairlift 30 to 40 feet off the ground after the accident. At least three people were injured, he said. "We heard screams from skiers down below that skiers were off the lift, and we've been trapped ever since," he told CNN's Tony Harris. Skiers would have to climb down one at a time using harnesses and ropes, Atkinson said. "We've got a whole lot of people throwing ropes over the lift right now," Atkinson's wife, Maureen, said. Rob Atkinson said the temperature was about 8 degrees with a 20 mph to 30 mph wind. The resort received 20-22 inches of fresh snow with the weekend blizzard, he said. A spokesman for the ski resort said the lift cable derailed from a pulley, and all the chairs on that cable fell to the ground http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/12/28/skiers-fall-from-chairlift-at-maine-resort/?hpt=T2

Glad to see they put in that fancy stamped concrete in the court yard, that stuff is like walking on ice with ski boots on. It will however be good for people watching.
