“The evacuees were taken in by paramedics,” said Sûreté du Québec Sgt. Louis-Philippe Bibeau.
Bibeau said about 20 skiers suffered minor injuries from the abrupt stop.
It appears the ski lift suddenly came to a stop due to a mechanical issue, according to police.
The police operation ended shortly before noon.
