Skibowl’s Deadly Oversight on Mt Hood | Portland News

Description

A deadly chairlift accident on Mt. Hood in April 2026 is now being called negligence after investigators found Skibowl sent untrained technicians onto a new maintenance basket without proper safety protocols. The basket, meant for flat terrain, was used on a steep incline and improperly loaded with workers on both levels—leading to a catastrophic fall that killed one technician and critically injured another. Despite contesting fines over $43,000, the company admits it’s already fixed the safety gaps it ignored before the crash.
