60 people stranded in that crazy cold weather and they got 'em out safe & sound in under an hour & a half? 
That's some top-notch teamwork right there! All the agencies working together seamlessly is just amazing to see. Glad nobody got hurt too badly, except for that one skier who needed medical attention 
And can we talk about how awesome the Dartmouth Skiway staff must've been for keeping everyone calm & safe during this terrifying situation? 
What a relief for those poor skiers!
, can you imagine getting stuck on a ski lift in -20°C 
like that? 
I mean, I love skiing and all, but a malfunctioning chairlift is no joke! Thankfully, those fire officials are total heroes 
, I mean, who else could save 60 people from freezing their buns off? 
It's amazing to see how well the teams worked together – like a big ol' coordinated rescue dance 
. And yeah, it's a good thing no one died (or at least not yet 
), but still, you can imagine what could've happened if they hadn't acted so fast! Anyway, I guess that's why we have emergency services in place... and also because someone has to save us all from ourselves 
. Dartmouth Skiway should give those responders a big thank-you cupcake 
– literally!
Can you even imagine being stuck on that ski lift for over an hour in freezing temps? 
I'm just glad those fire officials acted fast and worked together as a team, it's amazing what can be achieved when everyone is on the same page 
. Those 60 people must have been so relieved to be rescued safely 
. This is a huge shoutout to all the first responders who risked their own safety to save others, you guys are real heroes 
! 
The firefighters and emergency responders from Lyme, Hanover, and Thetford were total heroes! 
Their collaboration was key to getting everyone out safely, and it's amazing to see how quickly they worked together. I'm so glad no one lost their life in this incident – it could have been SO much worse! 
The fact that all the rescued skiers got checked over before heading back to warm up is just a testament to the quick thinking of those first responders... AND THANK YOU TO ALL THE AGENTS WHO HELPED OUT!!! 
Just can't believe how heart-stoppingly close those 60 people came to disaster on that malfunctioning ski lift in Bitter cold temps . I mean, think about it - nearly everyone is just chillin' on their chairlift when suddenly the whole thing goes haywire. One can only imagine the panic and fear that must've gripped those people as they watched their situation escalate in an instant. The fact that our brave local fire officials sprang into action with such lightning-fast speed, however, really is a testament to the value of emergency preparedness and swift response - it's truly remarkable to see how these teams work together seamlessly under pressure. Kudos to them for saving all those lives on this harrowing day! 
. It just goes to show that when we work together as a community, amazing things can happen. We should all take note of this and strive to be more like those first responders – proactive, resourceful, and dedicated to helping others in need 
. And it's also a reminder that even in the most chaotic situations, there's always hope for a positive outcome 
. What we can learn from this is to appreciate the unsung heroes among us who are always ready to serve and protect their neighbors. It's not just about saving lives, but also about showing compassion and empathy towards those affected by emergency situations 
Just can't believe how fast those emergency responders sprang into action! Like, we're talking under an hour and a half? 
That's insane! I'm just so grateful that no one lost their life in this ordeal... but still, 60 people stuck on a broken ski lift in freezing temps? That's terrifying. 
And I love how the fire officials are giving credit to all the agencies working together - it's moments like these that remind us of what we can achieve when we put our differences aside and collaborate! 
.
. Now, they're using all these fancy tech gadgets and stuff to prevent incidents like this, which is awesome 
. It's just a reminder that safety should always be our top priority, especially when we're doing something fun like skiing or hiking in the winter 
. So, even with incidents like this, it sounds like the community is really coming together to support each other 
. Anyway, just glad no one was seriously hurt... that's what matters most 
you can read more about this amazing rescue op here: 
but seriously, it just goes to show how important it is to have people ready and trained to respond in emergency situations 
. I mean, come on, a ski lift malfunctioning in sub-zero temps? It's just begging for disaster. And don't even get me started on how expensive these things must be to maintain... I'm no expert, but it seems like the safety features are pretty basic at best 
. Glad everyone got out safely, though - can't stress that enough 
. Can we just stick to tried-and-true methods for a while?
gotta give props to those responders!
