Whistler Chairlift crunches to earth!


Whistler Chairlift crashes to the ground!
"Whistler Mountain’s Harmony Express chairlift re-opened on Sunday (Feb. 22) after a single chair fell from the cable and hit the ground in the middle of the night on Wednesday (Feb. 18).

The lift was closed for three days after the accident, in which no one was injured. Whistler Blackcomb (WB) and B.C. Safety Authority (BCSA) officials have determined the mishap was caused by the failure of something called an articulation arm mounting bolt, part of the mechanism that attaches the chair to the overhead cable, officials said in a statement issued on Saturday (Feb. 21)."

Holy shitakke!!!

We rode that lift yesterday!

And this is after the gondola collapsed 2 months ago!
