After it was pointed out that there is no thread, here it is:
Around noon on March 7 a chair fell off the line of the summit double at Black Mountain in Jackson, NH. I heard, but cannot confirm, there was at least one injury though not life threatening. A state inspection following the accident determined that the lift needs repairs including a replacement of all the grips. As a result the chair has not been running for past few weeks and will not run for the remainder of the season.
The owner at Black displayed the worst customer relations skills I have ever seen at a ski area. I already was in a foul mood with the guy as he backed out of a signed contract with my race league the week of the race and raised the prices over 40%. As if that was not enough to convince me never to return, he refused refunds to those people who were stuck on the lift and had to be evac'ed down the life. When customers because upset about his refusal to refund the tickets, he called the police to get the customers to leave.
