Kirkwood Mountain Resort ran chairs 11 and 2 today because the electrical connection to the rest of the chairs was not working. Resort officials say that problem has been solved.

Kirkwood anticipates all lifts being in operation on Jan. 4.

“The lifts are not reacting well with the power. This is a lift electrical problem,” Tim Cohee, vice president of the ski resort, said Sunday before there was juice to all lifts.

Power had been restored to all other parts of Kirkwood on Saturday and today after a fire at the power plant on New Year’s Day knocked out the electricity to thousands and forced the ski resort to close a couple hours early that day and not to operate Saturday.
