Nearly 60 Evacuated From Lift at Ivy League College Ski Area

In New Hampshire, nearly 60 people were evacuated from a malfunctioning chairlift on Thursday at the Dartmouth Skiway, with one hospitalization. 

The small ski area, owned and operated by the Ivy League college Dartmouth, described the incident in a social media post, noting that Winslow Lift had a service brake failure.

“We believe this was unrelated to earlier electric motor issues which have been resolved,” the ski area added. They said they would reopen the Winslow Lift when it was safe to do so.
