THE LIFT'S MOTORS DEVELOPED A MECHANICAL PROBLEM A ski lift broke down at around 13:30 today (December 24), leading to 240 skiers needing to be rescued via helicopter. Festoure, a ski
lift in the SuperDévoluy resort in the Hautes-Alpes, was victim of a mechanical problem. Gendarmes, dozens of mountain firefighters, two ambulances and a team from the department's
fire and rescue service were quickly called in, as well as the helicopter ‘Choucas 05’. According to reports, the evacuation started around 15:00. None of the skiers were injured. The
municipality provided a reception room within the resort and requisitioned its highway patrolmen to help.
