The Mont-Sainte-Anne ski resort (MSA) has obtained the green light from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) to put the Shooting Star (Étoile filante) lift back into service four months after a gondola fell. The reopening is scheduled for Saturday morning, the operator said.
Before the gondola fell, a mechanic had carried out only a visual inspection after seeing a malfunction message and had then authorized the restart of the ski lift.
Quebec s building board (RBQ) has authorized the reopening of four chair lifts at the Mont-Sainte-Anne ski resort, but the L Étoile filante gondolas will remain inaccessible until further notice.
In a Saturday press release, the RBQ announced the partial removal of the order issued on Dec. 16, which forced the closure of five lifts after a gondola at L Étoile filante fell a week earlier.
