This is the Sublette Ridge Quad chair at Jackson Hole Mnt Resort. The people you see on the chair are workers.

This video has been making the rounds here in Jackson, since everyone rides that chair and has been out there in heavy winds...but just not THIS heavy!

Lift-served skiing just ended here but we've got the amazing backcountry to ski for a few more months.

How'd you like to be the snowboarder? I wonder what kind of forces 110 mph wind exerts upon a 165 cm X 30 cm plank strapped to your feet?

Have been on chairs with winds over 40mph, that was more than enough.
