We are skiing there in late February. Too bad I've already purchased the tickets.

That's quite the fire. I would have thought there would be some fire protection stuff, even if just sprinklers, on a $5,000,000 HSQ. Guess not though!

 

[VTKilarney]

Ouch. I just looked at the trail map. That's a pretty vital chair lift.

Wow, terminal, a few chairs, a new haul rope, communication/control wiring. Big insurance claim there.

 

[VTKilarney]

If Scotty dropped a joint I'm going to be really mad.

 

[dlague]

I never seen such a thing! Craziness!

 

[thetrailboss]

Wow. That sucks. That is also a first for me--seeing a burning chairlift.

Wonder if it was due to negligence/failure to maintain?

Yikes. Don't they have night skiing? If that happened at 7 some folks could have been on it. Well that's some scary shit

Yeah they are open until at least 10 PM every night according to their website.

I saw Bromont from the air last year when flying into Montreal at night, it is an impressive sight, the entire mountain glows in the distance.

It could of gotten real fun had I posted the French language version as opposed to the English language version of the story as the starting point for "Scotty-speak!"
