Mount Washington staff and skiers used a makeshift life net to catch a young chairlift user who was dangling from their chair Thursday afternoon (Jan. 6).
A view of the rescue is making the rounds on social media, including a post by @ydnam13 on Twitter.
“The Sunrise crew was on fire this morning. Great job to all involved!” @ydnam13 tweeted, along with the video.
The age and gender of the person being rescued are still unclear, as is whether they were skiing or snowboarding.
The Record has reached out to Mount Washington management for more information.
