GOLDEN, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA – The owner of Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden, B.C., has confirmed eight people were aboard a gondola that fell to the ground Monday morning.
Resorts of the Canadian Rockies says its patrol team and first responders were immediately dispatched after it happened around 9:20 a.m., but no one was seriously injured in the incident.
It says its preliminary investigation suggest that a lift hanger broke while the cabin was leaving the bottom station, causing it to fall one metre.
The resort says a full inspection of the Golden Eagle Express gondola is underway, supported by specialists from the manufacturer, to determine next steps.
It says the lift will remain closed until further notice.
A post on Kicking Horse Mountain Resort’s Facebook page says it plans to operate starting Tuesday.
