I was watching a tv show about avalanches, and one was about an avalanch that occured at alpine meadows.it talked about a woman that was traped inside a building. the photoes of the accident showed the building also housing a double chairlift. any one know what chairlift it was?

It was a Riblet double chair and ran the line of the current HSS.

My father in law was there on the patrol at the time. It was the old Summit double that got whacked the worst. Here are the details:
