Several dozen people were evacuated from the Lavelle chairlift at Montana Snowbowl Wednesday after an empty chair separated from the cable.

The fixed-grip chair to the upper part of Snowbowl had just swung around the bull wheel after unloading two skiers when it caught on part of the lift and tore away from the cable.
