One mitigation for all this may be Covid, curiously enough. The winter
sports season was lost, due to lockdown, so the lift operators may
have been desperately short of money to get engineers in to fix things.

The only "mitigation" was that the car carried half the normal number of
people because of "social distancing" requirements.


I agree that mitigation was the wrong word.
