Shocking video showed a California skier holding on for dear life after slipping from a chairlift on Bear Mountain Tuesday as two fellow riders struggled to save her from falling.
The unidentified skier was seen dangling from the lift as a pair of snowboarders gripped her arms while they ascended the slopes at Big Bear Mountain Resort.
Ski patrol members waited to assist the skier when they pulled into the station, according to KTLA.
It’s unclear how the woman slipped through the lift’s safety bar.
A witness who posted video of the heart-stopping incident on social media said he spoke with the skier afterward and she was unhurt.
The videographer could be heard saying, “Oh my god. Holy f—” while filming.

Bear Mountain is located in Big Bear Lake, about 25 miles east of San Bernardino.
Earlier this month, horrifying video captured a 12-year-old girl dangling from a chairlift before plunging to the ground at Mammoth Mountain ski resort in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
