re: #88 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷

Snowy Range, two hours north of Steamboat, 30 minutes west of Laramie, where the accident happened. Small ski area with four lifts (all old fixed grip Riblets, like we have at the ski area I work at), 865’ vertical drop, average 245” of snow per winter. Learn something new everyday. Think I might ski there next winter on my way to the Tetons.

Glad the story with the girl scouts had a happy ending. Tree strikes are ghastly and a lot of times fatal. A 49-year-old male died at the ski area I work at last winter that way, he was dead when ski patrol found him in the snow next to the tree he crashed into, later pronounced dead in our first aid room at the base, blunt force trauma to the head (here’s the kicker, he was wearing a helmet), Director of Ski Patrol made the call.
