Oh wow... This is at my mountain too (Crystal). Luckily this was a controlled fall, though it was way bigger than they expected it to be. Totally took out one of the chairs there. Luckily the chair was the oldest on the mountain and the least used of all the chairs, but fucking hell, the area it swept through is a green feeder run to a lot of other areas on that side of the resort. On a Saturday there is hundreds if not thousands of people passing through there each hour.
