Trapped in gondola, woman gets $750K [View all]
A Rutland County Civil Court jury on Wednesday awarded a Pittsfield woman $750,000 in damages after she was trapped midway to the top of the mountain for about five hours at Killington resort in Oct. 2011.
Nadine Price had gotten into a gondola at the resort around 3:15 p.m. Oct. 1, 2011. The lift usually closes at 5 p.m., but on that date, it was closed just before 3:30 p.m. because of inclement weather.
Price was trapped in the gondola for hours.
In 2011, Killington First Constable Scott Bigelow told the Herald they had been called to the K-1 Lodge around 8:30 p.m. by a friend of Price’s who said she had not returned as planned from a hike she told him she was making to the summit.
Two town constables and Killington staff members had no success searching trails near the Snowdon Triple trail where Price had started her hike, and began shining lights into cars on K-1 Express Gondola and found Price in one of the cars not far from the summit.
