they are going on an eyewitness on the chair right now...

The mountain is saying it's going to take an hour to get everyone off.

Yikes that looks real bad - if its only the 8 minor injuries that they posted over on facebook it will be amazing.

Wow, that doesn't look good at all from the photo. I remember the Whiffletree quad used to break down all the time when it was new and they would have to evacuate people with ropes but that was more a power problem, not the actual chair line falling. Prayers to all involved, fingers crossed nobody is seriously hurt.

Fingers crossed! Hope that it wasn't a situation where they we're trying to push things wind wise

Watching CNN is almost a free advert for Sugarloaf. Talking about how quick and professional the response was and then they were basically reading the marketing materials (only above tree line lift serviced, vert stats, largest, etc...) and playing a bunch of powder videos from the website.
