Welcome back to the men's room, 99.9 KISW.

Nearly 70 people rescued from a gondola cabin in an upstate New York ski area.

After mechanical problem forced a shutdown of the lift system, leaving skiers stranded for hours up to 70 feet in the air.

Staff of Gore Mountain and North Creek are nearly 90 miles north of Albany,

and state park rangers climbed lift poles and used rope and body harnesses to lower people to the ground.

The operation took nearly five hours.

No one was injured. About 67 skiers and 20 gondola cabins were helped back down to the ground.

There was, though, some anxiety among those

trapped and worries about having to use the bathroom. Although the temperatures were below freezing,

the cabins did remain warm, and the doors were closed, and the sun was shining. It was sobering

and something I'll probably carry with me for the rest of my life, said Kevin Boland. He is a 64-year-old

physician assistant and a longtime skier. He was stuck in one of the cabins for five hours. He says you think nothing of getting on a lift or getting on a gondola, and now you're going to think twice. You're going to make sure you go to the bathroom, maybe have a power bar with you. Make sure you're prepared, just like if you're going on a hike in the woods.

Our question, when did you have a crisis of the battles?

Hello, Magnum.

Welcome to the men's room.

Hello, guys.

This one might take a while because it was just a whole bunch of things went wrong before I could make it to where I wanted to be.

So I was headed to work, headed down the road. I got about a mile and a half away from work, and it hit me. Oh, Becca, my wife wanted to do a flaxseed diet. So I started a flaxseed diet like three days before. Nothing was happening. So, of course, you know, me being a man, oh, I'm going to increase my flaxseed.

So I put in two or three scoops instead of the one I was supposed to.

The next day, I'm headed to work.

That's where we picked back up.
