A young girl on a school trip to Sierra-at-Tahoe fell from the Grandview chairlift on Wednesday morning.

The skier was taken by ambulance to Barton Memorial Hospital after the 11:30am incident on Jan. 27.

“From everything we understood she is in good health,” Steve Hemphill, spokesman for the resort, told Lake Tahoe News.

He did not know if the safety bar was in use at the time of the fall. The girl fell between towers three and four. The height between the varies. The exact distance she fell is unknown.

She was riding with someone else on the four-seater express lift. What led to her falling is being investigated.

Ski patrol responded immediately and the lift continued to operate. The incident was treated like an on-mountain injury.
