cyphersoh man what a bummer. did the resort murk it or did it get vandalized?
I haven't heard much about it since but judging from the picture I saw on instagram, it looked like it was brought down with serious force. It snowed shortly after it got destroyed so whatever was left of it got buried in the snow and its just a pile of logs, bamboo, patrol rope, signage, and memories :( Im pretty sure some patrollers within the local ski community also help take care of the shacks along with local shredders and we've never really had any issues with mtn ops staff or patrol busting people coming to or from the shacks like other resorts do. Its a pretty popular spot on the mountain and youd always find people in there and we'd all do our best to respect it and take care of it, clean up trash, tidy the place up, Maybe add a broken pole to the collection of other broken poles, etc. A cool place to chill as long as you arent a dick, ya know? Like most mountains.
Could have easily been Snowbirds management cuz theres been similar instances happening at other mountains. But if it was some dude being a fucking dick then I hope some bad karma comes his way. Even worse if its someone who skis there regularly. Word spreads fast and you dont wanna be know as the guy who tore down a sweet shack.
