Ski industry officials are stressing their safety record after a chair fell from a lift at Attitash Mountain Resort over the weekend. One man was hospitalized and later released after his chair on Attitash’s Flying Bear Lift fell 20 feet to the ground on Sunday afternoon.

Feb. 5, 2025, a representative from the ski area notified the State Fire Marshal’s Office about an evacuation of passengers on the Peabody Express Quad lift following a mechanical issue.

A recent accident at Attitash highlighted how the fear that exists in many skiers’ heads can occasionally become reality.
