"The ski season is well and truly underway. Many of you will be using the ski lifts at the resorts, and occasionally the lifts may break down. That is why we carry out several training exercises throughout the winter, to organise the evacuation of chairlifts or gondola lifts, either by air when the weather permits, or by land in more complex situations." - according to the Pyrénées-Orientales High-Mountain Gendarmerie Unit (PGHM).
