That's a pretty new lift too, what happened the last time it broke?

The incident at Tiehack was the third consecutive season there has been a late December lift closure to hamper Skico’s operations when holiday crowds are around.
In 2013, the Silver Queen Gondola on Aspen Mountain was closed on Dec. 30 and 31, two of the busiest days of the season. Bearings went out on the bull wheel in the upper terminal.
Last year, Lift 1A was knocked out of commission for nearly three weeks after a broken gear tooth was discovered on New Year’s Eve.

The lift was still down yesterday from what I could tell from across the valley, should be good turns today if they get it running.

Anything is possible when you don't understand what you are talking about.
