BRIAN HEAD, Iron County — Dozens of people were safely evacuated from a ski lift in Brian Head on Sunday afternoon.
Resort officials said the incident occurred shortly after noon and left approximately 180 skiers stranded aboard Lift 2, also known as the Giant Steps Express.
Members of the Brian Head Ski Patrol were dispatched to assist the lift passengers down to the ground using ropes and harnesses.
"They started at the top, and chair by chair, they just went down the line," Brian Head Resort marketing director Amber Palmer told Cedar City News.
