According to Jean-Michel Ryan, Chief Executive Officer of Mont Sutton, the chair that disconnected from lift number four and fell to the ground last Saturday morning was likely the result of a collision with a branch that was overloaded with snow. The incident resulted in no injuries and did not cause lasting damage to the lift equipment.
“That chair was coming back down to the bottom of the mountain,” Ryan said highlighting the fact that it was unoccupied at the time that it struck a branch that was heavy-laden from Saturday’s snowfall and was knocked off balance.
