PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — A Utah ski resort worker has died after being ejected from a chairlift whose line was severed by a fallen tree amid record snowfall.
Park City Mountain representatives said the 29-year-old resort employee fell at least 25 feet (7.6 meters) from the Short Cut chairlift on Monday. Ten others who were also on the chairlift were evacuated by the ski patrol.
