Ski lift breaks down at Turner
Western News | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 16 years, 10 months AGO
The Turner Mountain Ski Area near Libby is closed Friday through Sunday because of a mechanical problem with its ski lift.
Bruce Zwang, president of Kootenai Winter Sports, said that the mechanical failure was the result of a bearing problem that occurred last weekend. Zwang said the work will be done in-house but does present challenges because it requires going to the top of the mountain.
The ski area hopes to be operational again for the weekend of March 13-15. Zwang advised skiers to check their website at www.skiturner.com for the latest information.

Troy kept the bats hot in the second game, plating 21 runs to end that game early as well, 21-11.
