A faulty underground cable cut power to some 300 Jackson customers for a couple hours on Wednesday and stranded skiers on Snow King Mountain Resort lifts for a chilly 15 to 20 minutes.
Reports of the power outage at Snow King began to come in to the Jackson Hole Daily not long before the hillâs closing time at 6:30 p.m.
At least one skier said she was stuck on the Cougar Lift for between 15 and 20 minutes as she waited for auxiliary power to kick in to get riders to the top of the chair lift.
After unloading from the lift at dusk, skiers and snowboarders had to traverse their way down the ski slopes without nighttime lights that typically illuminate the trails.

Snow King might as well be âTrump Mountain,â Shane Rothman opined from the peakâs summit last week.
As the Bridger-Teton National Forest vetted its plans for Snow Kingâs future, he contended, the concerns of experts like Forest Service retiree Susan Marsh and longtime ski patroller Rod Newcomb were brushed aside while a private companyâs desires were essentially rubber stamped instead.
