“Our operations and safety team worked diligently to unload the lift and drain the system safely. Avery EMS transported two patrons to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. We believe everyone is okay outside of the unfortunate situation, and operations are on a regular schedule.”

Two people at Beech Mountain Resort in North Carolina were injured after a snowmaking hose burst under a loaded chairlift soaking skiers and snowboarders while the temperature dipped as low as 7 degrees. Trapped skiers jumped 25 feet from the chairlift to safety, but Beech Mountain notes that resort staff did not give skiers the instruction to jump. The footage is wild:

Tough time for the people at Beech Mountain today. 🥶 pic.twitter.com/fg671LruRn
