A common Sitcom Trope. The protagonist(s) take a ski lift (most often of the chairlift kind) and, somewhere in mid-trip, the cableway stops — typically with the passengers too high to safely drop. In Real Life such incidents hardly ever last very long, since ski patrol usually responds instantly to either restart the lift / use ropes to lower guests to the ground. But in comedy or drama, there's always some complications. Contrast with Cable-Car Action Sequence. Compare Elevator Failure. |

Frozen (2010), about three snowboarders stuck on a lift...for the next four days, since the resort is closed for the week. Also, there are wolves prowling below. Also also, for better or worse, it wasn't forgotten for once that you'd have to go to the bathroom eventually. | |

Used in the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode "The Ski Lift" to force Larry and an orthodox Jewish woman to be "alone" together after sundown; since this isn't allowed under Jewish law if they're not married, she tells Larry he has to jump off if he's truly Orthodox (which he's pretending to be). When he refuses, she does it instead. | |

In Fish Hooks, this happens to Oscar in one episode, with various things keeping him from getting out. He manages to get out of it in the big race, but something happens later that makes him get stuck on the chairlift again. At the end of the episode, he's still on the chairlift. | |

Happens in Out Cold, wherein Pig Pen, while sleeping on the job, dreams that he's a James Bond-style action hero, charged with rescuing the Solid Gold Dancers, who are trapped in a stalled gondola. Cut to reality, where Rick and Luke are actually stuck in a gondola as they wait for Pig Pen to wake up and let them out. | |

Happens in How I Met Your Mother to Barney and Robin while they were dating. They'd just started having a fight before the ski lift stopped, making their usual strategies for avoiding a fight (Barney leaves the room and/or Robin gets naked) useless. | |
