I just caught this online. That really sucks. I hope everybody survives and recovers.

I would not want to be a patroller up there today! It'll take all day to get everyone off that lift. I hope everyone is okay.

NM, looks like everyone is alright: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/more_sports/2010/12/28/2010-12-28_sugarloaf_chairlift_accident_sends_six_skiers_to_maine_hospitals_injuries_are_no.html

best wishes to all involved, too bad the old T-bars ain't still running, they were MUCH less skeery on big wind days.

This made the National news tonight. Hope all are alright.

this was bad, hope all are ok, they sent some people from saddleback over to help people get off the lift even.
