Wow, we've had 2 people working at our mountain die; one at the slopes, and another at Sunapee's slopes. This was such a terrible season.

Our mountain had a guy paralyzed from the neck down just crashing off a roller. It really makes you stop and think about what you're doing, how you're doing it, and how lucky you are to be doing it.

His name was Alex Bashara. I just got back from his funeral.

He was one of the happiest people on the planet, so stoked about everything. He was an amazing instructor, and an amazing guy. He will be sorely missed.
