Man, it's been a tough year to be in the chairlift business. Most of the ones within driving distance of the Pacific had to close due to lack of snow, then some kooks from ABC sensationalize how dangerous they are, and then one rolls backwards at Sugarloaf and causes a PR nightmare (again). Now, some Ukrainian just happened to have his smartphone out when a tree falls over on the chairlift he's riding while on vacation. Can these poor guys catch a break?

Between the trees and the rollbacks, skiing has become the most dangerous sport of the year.
Please, no one show up on powder days, as these have the highest risk of avalanche and of injury via chairlifts from the snow’s added weight.
STAY AWAY!
