On a ski lift and its hit by lightning. are you safe?
pretty much that's it. your suspended in mid air below a steel cable, 40 feet from the ground (and from the support towers) are you fried, or are you like a bird on a wire and safe? what about a faraday cage isn't the ski lift chair like a faraday cage?

depends which route to ground the lightning takes
Bad luck if it goes through you
Also - any route it takes is likely to melt the cable. so you would fall to ground in any case
