That sucks.  It sucks more when you are three chairs from the top of three chairs from the bottom.

i got stuck on the lift for like 2 hours earlier this season because some douche ran into a telephone pole so all of smuggs lost power. then the next week something similar happened so i stayed stuck on the lift for an hour but i got to talk to the guy in charge of the park so i was stoked

We were on one at Pano couple years back and we got free hot chocolates haha, only 20 minutes but we saw what happened.

At the top, people would wait till the last second to jump off, and these people did it and popped the wire off to the side of the little wheels, it was on the bolt there, kinda scary but yea, they were trying to pop it up with a crowbar and i laughed, can't remember how they did it though...

$5? That wouldn't even pay for half your meal at Vail Resorts.
