Pro Slackliner Saves Skier Snagged on Chairlift
Mickey Wilson is a pro slackliner who put his skills to good use at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area in Colorado this week. “Today I saved someone’s life. I think some strange forces were at work,” Wilson wrote on Instagram. Watch below:
A skier tried to unload from the lift at the hilltop but was snagged and dragged down the hill. “We were on the chair lift behind so we unloaded and ran down the hill to help him when we realized the worst possible thing had happened,” Wilson wrote. “The backpack had wrapped around his neck and he was unconscious, dangling 10 feet above the snow.”
