We Missed Our Chance to Sit in a Gondola for Hours
Tuesday, October 18th, 2011The Breckenridge Ski Patrol conducted their annual gondola rescue drills, which require about 50 volunteers willing to sit in stranded gondola cars and wait to get lowered to safety. I suppose you could pack a case of beer for the drill, but it’s not like these things have restrooms. Though it would make it more realistic for the ski patrol if they had to deal with belligerent people instead of families waiting for what they see as a free ride on the zip line. Good news, none of the volunteers were killed. Hopefully they all got a couple free lift tickets, but somehow I think it was more like a free cup of soup.
