Several skiers were evacuated from a malfunctioning ski lift Sunday at Blue Knob All Seasons Resort.
About 5 p.m. Sunday, Blue Knob’s Route 66 double chair lift tower sensors detected a problem with one of the mechanism’s gears and halted the lift in place with skiers still on board, said Donna Himes, the resort’s marketing director.
“If there is a problem with a lift’s motor, an auxillary motor will engage, allowing the skiers to get to their drop off location,” Himes said. “If the problem is with the tower, however, a safety switch flips and everything freezes in place. Essentially, what happened is everything worked as it should.”
