BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. — A lift at Breckenridge Ski Resort stopped after it lost power midday Saturday. About an hour later, Breckenridge Ski Patrol began evacuating people on the lifts using ropes.

According to the ski resort, a power outage caused the Quicksilver SuperChair lift to lose power at approximately 12:20 p.m. At 1:22 p.m., ski patrol decided to begin evacuating skiers and snowboarders via ropes.

“To facilitate the safe evacuation of those guests, several surrounding trails and chairlifts were closed,” Breckenridge Ski Resort said in a statement emailed to FOX31 and Channel 2. “At 1:52 p.m., Breckenridge Lift Maintenance was able to resume operation of the Quicksilver SuperChair for evacuation purposes only and ceased rope evacuations.”
