SALT LAKE CITY — The first-ever chairlift speed dating event was a roaring success at Brian Head Resort, with more than 50 participants riding together over the course of two hours. According to the resort, singles could opt in at the bottom of the Blackfoot chairlift to be paired for six minute conversations with another rider on their way to the top. "If there was a connection, they could continue skiing or riding together. If not, they met someone new on the next chair," the resort explained. The event lasted from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. The Blackfoot chairlift wasn't the only spot where romance blossomed.
