INKOMÂ â Thirty-eight people had to be rescued with ropes from the main chairlift at Pebble Creek Ski Area on Sunday morning after a mechanical problem caused the lift to abruptly stop working.Â
The incident did not result in any injuries â just some cold skiers. The Skyline lift stopped working sometime after 10:30 a.m. on a crowded morning. There were dozens of people on the lift at the time, all of whom became stranded for at least half an hour.
Members of Pebble Creek Ski Patrol used handheld rope guns to shoot rope over the cable above chairs on the lift, then attaching bars for stranded skiers to sit on while being lowered to the ground. While Ski Patrol worked, ski area personnel made the necessary repairs to Skyline lift.

Barrie s Ski and Sports Owner Barrie Hunt coordinated with the other vendors and Pebble Creek to help organize this year s event. It is the biggest regional demo that we have, and I sure appreciate Pebble Creek letting us have the demo up here, Hunt said.
Hunt says the recent snowfall is vital for our environment and has been a blessing from up above. The snow gods are blessing us right now with plenty of snow, so it s really important to know that not only is this great for this industry, but we have moisture coming into the valleys and into our reservoirs and streams, Hunt said.
