It stopped for an hour while my wife and I were forty-three feet above nine feet of snow. Usually when a lift stops you are stuck in a wind blown part of the hill. In our case it didn’t matter too much, because we were alone on a detachable quad chair, snug in a giant plastic bubble. No wind and no cause for alarm because within 15 minutes of when the lift stopped, Jon Reveal, the mountain manager of the resort, came roaring up the hill in his snowmobile. He stopped underneath us and said, “Not to worry, there is a power outage in the entire southwestern corner of Montana. Besides that we have a separate auxiliary power for each one of our nine chairlifts.”
