Monday, January 02, 2017Friday the lift “will remain closed until deemed safe for public operation,” but did not give an estimated timeline for when that process will be complete.Ski Granby Ranch is about 20 miles west of Winter Park. The small, 400-acre family-oriented resort is known for being a spot for beginner skiers and snowboarders. It has just four chairlifts.“All of us at Granby Ranch are deeply saddened by yesterday’s tragic incident at our resort,” the resort said in a Friday statement. “We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of our guests. Our focus right now is on supporting those affected by this tragedy. … Granby Ranch is working cooperatively with authorities to determine the cause of the incident.”The last chairlift fall death in Colorado is believed to have occurred in 2002.According to an October report by the NSAA, the last death on a chairlift attributed to a malfunction was in 1993. As of the 2015-16 ski season, the annual fatality rate per 100 million miles traveled on ski lifts was 0.14.In 1976, two cars from Vail’s 7-year-old gondola – each carrying six skiers – plummeted 125 feet, killing four people in one of the most deadly lift incidents in the United States. In 1985, a bullwheel at Keystone Resort failed, sending waves down the line that threw 60 people off the Teller Lift, two of whom later died from their injuries.In April 2009, a Rhode Island man with no significant medical history died after losing consciousness on a chairlift in Breckenridge. Attempts to revive him at the top of the lift were unsuccessful.In January, a skier pushed a snowboarder off an Aspen Highlands chairlift. Thomas Proesel, who was accused of first-degree assault in the case, was found not guilty by reason of insanity. The snowboarder was not seriously hurt.This article passed through the Full-Text RSS service - if this is your content and you're reading it on someone else's site, please read the FAQ at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.php#publishers.Recommended article: The Guardian's Summary of Julian Assange's Interview Went Viral and Was Completely False.
