JASPER, Alta. — Dozens of people were flown off a mountain in Jasper National Park by helicopter after they were stranded by a power failure that stopped a tramway.
About 160 people, including 10 staff, were stranded either on the top of Whistlers Mountain around 4 p.m. Monday or on the tram car going up.
“Each tram car holds about 20 to 25 people,” said Brian Rode, vice president of marketing and sales for the Jasper Skytram and Ski Marmot Basin. “It was about half full and the tram was maybe about 200 metres from the top.
