A mechanical failure stranded 40 skiers on a chairlift high above Filipovice ski resort in the Czech Republic over the weekend requiring a coordinated rescue effort involving ski patrol, police, firefighters, and even police helicopter. Expats.cz reports the rescue was swift, 90 minutes from start to finish, and all 40 guests were successfully lowered down without injury. Well done:
