This past Saturday, December 5th, a chair detached for the haul line on Chair 1. There were two people on the chair at the time it came off, which was approximately 11 o'clock that morning. Ski patrol responded to the incident, which caused only minor injuries to the guests involved. 

The lift was shut down for about twenty minutes after the incident, though it was able to be restarted and all other guests were able to be unloaded safely.
