Gaper Day fire cause uncertain but a firework may have been the reason

Why Jackson Hole Mountain Resort’s short-lived Gaper Day fire started is unknown, but an errant firework may have been the reason. That’s according to resort risk director and Teton Village Fire Department Chief Jon Bishop, who told the Jackson Hole Daily he was “uncertain of a cause” but suspected fireworks. “The fire had originated up in the trees a bit, so that’s pretty much the only cause I could think of,” Bishop said. Fire Marshall Kathy Clay likewise couldn’t pin down an official reason for the blaze, but she and Jackson Hole Fire/EMS Chief Brady Hansen thought it was probably “human caused.”

Wyoming ski area to retire well-known steep and high lift

To say it’s a relic of days gone by is an understatement. Every ski lift in the vicinity has gone higher-tech, with heated sidewalks to melt snow and hydraulic lifts that pick up speed. To load on the Summit Lift means walking or skidding onto a wooden platform where painted feet tell you where to stand. From there the journey has to be part of the destination because it will take you anywhere from 10 to 25 minutes to get to the top. (The lift changes speeds depending on who is riding it. It slows for sightseers and picks up for skiers. Regular King skiers will see people loading without skis and head to another lift, knowing the glacial pace that will ensue to suit tourists on the Summit Lift.) At the top a rope safety net is cobwebbed beneath the chair before the unloading area in case anyone falls while unloading from the wooden platform.

Resort spokeswoman Anna Cole told the News&Guide the blaze had been extinguished, putting an end to one of the more dangerous Gaper Day moments in recent memory. ORIGINAL STORY, 5:16 P.M.: There is a fire burning at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, about an hour after the lifts stopped spinning for Gaper Day 2021. Resort spokeswoman Anna Cole told the News&Guide that a stand of downed trees was burning near the Sundance run under the Bridger Gondola shortly after 5 p.m., and pictures from the scene showed a plume of smoke rising from that area.
