BUT after speaking to the resort management you could lower your paracord to the ground ask management to tie on some supplies – food, clothing, blankets. (I guess you could also use it to pull up a proper climbing rope, but I really don’t see this ever happening)
All ski mountain lifts in my AO have specially trained lift rescue people on the mountain at all times (mandated.) Their job is to get people off the lifts as quickly and safely as possible. These people are very good at at. I have had the opportunity more then once to see these teams practice back when a friend worked on a local ski hill and was trained in this type of rescue.
If you are to the point that you are speaking with the resort manager, chances are you will be safely rescued in due time and not have to find your way down a climbing rope on your own...
