Are Ski Chair Lifts Safe?

Are Ski Chair Lifts Safe?

Winter is most certainly upon us and many across the region are enjoying winter sports such as skiing.  On December 30, a 10 year old girl was skiing at Hidden Valley when she was injured on a ski lift.  The ski patrol took her down the mountain on a toboggan, an ambulance drove her about a mile to a clearing and she was airlifted to Memorial Medical Center in Johnstown.

The causes of this Pennsylvania chair lift accident, the victim’s identity, and her condition have not yet been released.  We wish her a full and speedy recovery.
