I was skiing at Bogus Basin a few years ago and a chairlift stopped working shortly before I got on because it had been hit by lightning recently. It had to run on back up power and was very slow, it took almost an hour to get up, and it was the only way out of that basin. I was near the front of the line but I think it took some people ~3-4 hours waiting in line before they could get on the lift. Some people tried to climb out but it's a very long hike.

I've only been stuck for like 30 mins.

My grandpa had it the worst though:
He was skiing at age 75 and crashed and tore his ACL. Ski patrol strapped him on the board and put him laying down across the seat and he got half way up when it stopped. It didn't start again for 45 mins. He was in incredible pain and it was raining. Couldn't even wipe the water off his face cause they had his arms in the straps.
