That's amazing that there were no injuries reported yesterday after a 1.5 hour evac. I can't imagine what the wind was like up on the mountain but it was brutal here. I would have expected some frost bite cases.

I'm sure it was damn cold. Lucky it was the South Ridge and not an upper mountain lift more exposed to wind. I'm sure it was still brutal.

South Ridge would be about the best lift to be on with brutal condtions.
