Poster: A snowHead
|
They also got a free liftpass. This news and video report from KUTV.com
[This news item has been re-posted, due to another unexpected ride]
89 skiers were evacuated yesterday from the Peruvian Express chairlift at Snowbird, Utah, due to high winds which triggered an automatic shut-down. A special harness was slung above each chair so that each skier could be lowered to the ground.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch", unless you get evacuated from a chairlift. Discuss.

'defiantly' isn't so much misspelt as the wrong word, I think.

The full quote and context, from the KUTV report:
Quote: |
The Ski Patrol tossed ropes up to those stranded in the chairs and they ran the rope through a loop attached to the chair, then the skiers threw the rope back to the ground. Rescuers pulled a seat harness up to skiers who then strapped themselves in and where lowered to the ground.
"I'm not going to lie its defiantly nerve wracking," says Charles Dow of Boston, Massachusetts. |
I'd blame the journalist and/or sub-editors. There's a missing apostrophe and Mr Dow is probably mis-quoted. There's no point in printing a quote that is nonsense.

Multiple use of 'where' instead of 'were'.

At Silver after the evac from last friday, when we had 36" and the riders spent up to 1.5 hours on the lift, they received a free ticket to another day and today they get to go ski an hour earlier than the rest of the masses.
