Well thats a season dampener. You kinda can forget about it, but lots of ski areas are built on dormant volcanoes or geologically active areas.... Baker, Bachelor, Shasta, Mammoth....

didnt turn out that bad in the end!

just a couple of injuries, the lahars didnt actually make it onto the ski field

a lahar is just crater water, mud and rocks and stuff going down the mountain fucking fast, when we were kids growing up down there we had to learn all the safe places to go in the event of an eruption, so its not really that dodgy i dont think

That sucks so much! Pyroclastic flows are so dangerous and kill the most people. Here in Washington when St. Helens erupted it sent mobbin pyroclastic flows.

Nobody died, some dude got his leg amputated. They evacuated the side with lodges for the night, but the side with the park wasn't affected YUSS! They're hoping to have the whole mountain open tomorrow.

Yeah - it smokes from the old crater pretty much constantly. You have to be up there (in or near the crater) to see it, though - it is not like a large plume or anything coming off the mountain.
