Heck of a way to ring in the New Year! Sounds like the guy in the tram all by himself had the worst of it, but I'm glad they all got out safely. They'll have a New Year's Eve story to tell their grandchildren.

People could've just Where-Eagles-Dare'd it

No but really, I've been on that tram and really would not relish being stuck over one of the spots where it's like, 400 feet over the ground.

Woman thought to be missing was stuck 15 hours overnight up on a gondola at Heavenly Ski Resort

When Monica Laso planned a skiing trip with her friends to Heavenly Ski Resort, she never imagined she would spend 15 hours overnight hanging in the sky on a gondola.

The womans Heavenly story is a little wild to say the least. Off of reading a day ago in mind

1- supposedly helped down by ski patrol or worker to midstation atleast.
2- friends report missing around closing or after
3- found next day when gondola car is brought to station.

The videos of the cameras at that station should be interesting

You can't ski down from that Gondola and there is no midstation. So if a worker "helped" her into the Gondola surely that worker also had to descend using it. As well as all the lifties, ski patrol and servers/cleaners/other staff at the lodge. The only way down is the Gondola.

You can’t ski down to the gondola base in the Village from the top of the gondola, but you can ski down to other base lodges that have parking. Also the gondola does have a mid-station at the observation deck / cafe blue

"Nobody's in trouble. This is a new free outdoor nature experience offered at all Vail Resorts called, "Night on the Lift"; similar to "Night at the Museum".

Here's how our lawyers....errrr.... marketing department explains it.

The transition of mountain from day to night orchestrates a mesmerizing transformation in the natural world, unveiling a distinct realm brimming with enchantment. As the sun dips below the horizon, the vibrant hues of daylight yield to the subtle palette of the nocturnal hours. The once bustling symphony of diurnal creatures gradually gives way to the nocturnal melodies of elk, moose, and night birds. The moon ascends, casting its ethereal glow upon the landscape, while stars emerge like celestial diamonds scattered across the vast, velvety canvas of the night sky. In this nocturnal sanctuary, shadows playfully dance among the mountain ridges, and the cool night air carries whispers of mystery. NOTE: Vail Mountain Resorts not responsible for any injury, including freezing to death. Participants responsible for bringing their own food & water. No bathroom facilities provided.

Ahh… so it is possible that a liftie (or someone else) let her in and then made his way to a base on skis. We only downloaded in the gondola when we were there.

I spied something new today. Golly, I wonder what precipitated this!

The latest stranded passenger. Should they rescue him?

 

[BodeMiller1]

^^^ He seems content.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Is that picture real or AI generate?

Is that picture real or AI generate?

Yeah, I don't know. I found it on Google. It was linked to an article. It does seem a bit odd looking. I had been saving it for the right moment.

Normally I'd just assume it's fake, but given Katz has people photograph him everywhere but at the urinal, it's tough to know for sure.

 

[teleo]

Oh no. Now TB will AI gen one of him at a urinal. Please no.

Because he has a small one

...intercepted emails Vail Resorts from Kirsten Lynch to Rob Katz

Kirsten Lynch: As SHEEO of Vail Resorts, I'm very excited to announce a new feature at all Vail Resorts areas-Little Bobbie's Clown Snowball Dunk Chair starring Rob Katz!!! It's like a clown dunk tank except we throw snowballs at the clown (you) trying to knock you off the chair
Rob Katz: I don't appreciate you supergluing my ass to the chair
KL: Safety First I always say. Don't want the Chairman of the Bored falling out of the chair when you get hit with iceballs
RK: ICEBALLS!!!
KL: All pass holders get access to unlimited Iceballs. Just a way to let our epic passholder family show their appreciation for all you've done.
RK: is that why Mountain ops is turning all the whales into snowball piles?
KL: You're so observant.
RK: Do you know who I am?? I'm a hedge fund Boss. I have more money than God. They're just jealous of all my success. Why can't we just plant some minion or riff-raff or a serf to do it.
KL: Oh no little bobbie. It's the revenge of the hoi-polloi. Be a good sport
RK: This sounds like something TrailBoss and his flunkies @ AZ would pull. I'm gonna buy Alta and turn it into a snowboard only area. Payback is a bitch.....
