In Russia, a tourist was pulled out of a lift cabin by her leg

The woman was suspected of using a fake ticket.

A loud scandal out of the blue, which the police now have to sort out, occurred at the popular ski resort Krasnaya Polyana in Sochi. The 28-year-old girl went through the turnstile with her ski pass (ski pass) and sat in a booth to go to the slope. However, the security suspected her of having a fake ticket and demanded that she take off her equipment. When the girl refused, resort staff stopped the cable car for 20 minutes.

According to the victim, the resort staff deliberately stopped the cable car so that other vacationers would turn on her. According to the "counterfeiter", they succeeded. One man from the crowd roughly grabbed the girl by the leg and pulled her out of the cabin, but the stubborn skier climbed back into it.

“They deliberately stirred up the intensity of the public’s emotions. And they incited people from the queue, even to the point of causing harm to the health of a person who simply wanted to receive a paid service, namely a ride on the cable car. At the same time, the security officers are inactive, ensuring the damage to one person, supposedly in the name of “ collective good,” said the victim.

At the end of the season, experienced riders who do not like the wet spring snow actively resell their tickets to those who want to save money. There are also people who do not want to pay $40 for a day of skiing and buy so-called “dokatki” (a person leaves the track early and sells his ticket with the remaining hours at a significant discount). Such transactions take place in special chats, and they say there are a huge number of them. At Sochi ski resorts they try to deal with this phenomenon harshly - they take away other people’s ski passes and can expel them from the territory.
