Without a phone to call for help, Laso said she screamed every time she saw a worker down below, but they couldn’t hear her.

Workers wearing ear buds will have that effect. She should have thrown a ski pole at them.

There’s a horror movie out there with this exact plot. It didn’t end well. The wolves ate them. It’s a long story.

(at Heavenly Ski Resort)

Where they leave you, abandoned, closer to Heaven
and try to ignore you so that you can reach Heaven.

I think I saw this movie.

The Heavenly Ski Resort better open up that checkbook and figure out a way to verify the ski-lift is unoccupied before they shut it down

And actually, I'd bet there are procedures in place that just weren't followed by the wagies working at the resort.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Saw that. Not a bad movie.

I didn't have a phone, a light or anything,"

No motor car, too?

My goodness. The workers should have a strict policy of running the lift a complete loop before shutting it off at the end of the day.

she expressed that she was too tired to continue down the hill... really? WTH???

Not a single luxury!

Though, no one knows what you’re talking about…

Major lawsuit coming.

I thought that was standard safety procedure at the resorts. No?

Doesn’t speak engrish? Why?

[b4me]

I was thinking similar but a person can get on at points along the way, I would guess. maybe they need to watch a video or ?

It’s odd the worker pointed her to the lift and didn’t tell her it wouldn’t be operational for long (few minutes)

Thankfully it was not an open air chair lift.

Like Robinson Ca-ru-so, as primitive as can be.

Honestly, girl should have packed chemical hand warmers and a candy bar perhaps.

Thank God she got out in reasonably good shape.

That does sound like Cali, yup.
