Police say up to 150 people were rescued after being stuck on a chairlift Monday at the Kreischberg ski resort in Styria, Austria.
A “technical defect” caused the lift to stop, police said.
"Due to a technical defect we had to stop the double chair lift in the area of Rosenkranz today in the afternoon at about 2:30," Karl Fussi, a spokesperson for the resort, said. "At 5 o'clock all of the skiers were safe on the ground. Nobody was injured so we were quite happy that we were successful."
