A 51-year-old man from Glendora, Calif., died after falling from a chairlift at Heavenly Mountain Resort on Monday afternoon, and his newlywed wife was injured in the incident, authorities said.
Mark Alan Dickson fell about 50 feet from the Tamarack Express chairlift about 1:50 p.m., according to reports from Heavenly and the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office.
The incident remains under investigation, but an apparent malfunction of the Heavenly Flyer ZipRider caused a retrieval rope from the zip line to become entangled with the chairlift
