The husband of the late Kelly Huber is suing Granby Ranch ski area, saying the tragic accident which took his wife’s life was the result of negligence on the part of the lift operators.
Back on December 29, 2016, Kelly and her two children were riding the Quickdraw chairlift when all of a sudden the lift stopped. The three passengers all fell from the lift. Kelly Huber perished in the fall and her two children suffered injuries but survived the event.
According to The Denver Post, the husband of the dearly departed, William Huber filed the lawsuit in Denver on Friday. The lawsuit claims that multiple skiers and riders had previously told various ski area staff that the lift was not safe. William Huber says those fateful warnings were not heeded in time.
Last spring, an investigation by the Colorado Passenger Tramway Safety Board concluded that the chairlift malfunction in question was caused by a “rare dynamic event” involving the chair’s electronic drive system.
