Hundreds of snowboarders had to be rescued from a lift at Wrightwood, California’s Mountain High resort on Wednesday January 5, 2010 after a lift on the mountain’s east side slowed to a stop, according to a story in the San Bernardino Sun.
Ski patrol and sheriff’s search and rescue personnel rescued 212 people from the chair lift after it broke down just after 11 a.m. . . Some snowboarders waited more than two hours to be evacuated from the lift. . . “Both of my legs got numb,” said Hernandez’s sister, Cherrie. . . Some of the evacuees jumped off the lift on their own.
Guests who asked were reportedly given vouchers for a return trip to the resort.

Who cares about Cherrie and her numb legs. What happened to the chairlift?
More importantly, were there wolves circling underneath? Did anyone freeze? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiUNsDVjCbo
