OTSEGO, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – No one was hurt after a wind gust caused an empty chair on Bittersweet Ski Resort’s ski lift to fall to the ground Saturday.
The strong gust of wind pushed the chair into the lift’s communication line. It ripped the grip off of the chair and caused it to fall on the downhill side.
