Gondola Cabin Falls at Kicking Horse Ski Resort, No Serious Injuries Reported

The incident occurred near the base of the Golden Eagle Express gondola, prompting an ongoing investigation and temporary resort closure.

A gondola cabin at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden, British Columbia, fell around 10 feet to the ground on Monday morning at approximately 9:20 a.m.
Eight passengers were aboard the cabin when it fell; no serious injuries were reported, though minor injuries were noted by witnesses.
The gondola cabin fell near the base terminal of the Golden Eagle Express lift due to a suspected lift hanger failure, according to preliminary investigations by the resort.
Rescue crews, including ski patrol and first responders, quickly responded to the scene and worked to evacuate other passengers stranded in gondolas further up the mountain.
The Golden Eagle Express gondola remains closed for a full inspection by the resort, the manufacturer, and relevant authorities, while the resort plans to reopen other operations soon.
