That lift covered only a very small, but advanced part of the resort. Look at the trail map. It will be re-built this summer.
In my Fiorini class, “If it holds snow, we ski it.”
We would try out some pretty outrageous slopes. We would get to the top, and someone would volunteer to jump onto the top few feet to see if it kicked off an avalanche. If not, we’d all go.
Once, a guy had to swim down with the avalanche he created. But he kept his head up.
