Title says it all. Once a body was found in the spring thaw, turns out it was a dude who went in to the BC alone and fell into a tree well head first.

As well as that, it was only a week ago that I was talking to a seemingly hot girl on the chair. Long story short, she removed her goggles and I cried. Beware the goggle hot effect.

Also I heard that jet fuel can't melt steel beams #spooky

I got patrol a few seasons ago after I saw this guy crash at Granite Peak. It was brutal. My god, he was out cold. He landed right on top of a mogul. Turns out he died later at the hospital.

Yes, saw this happen. They had a tail tap feature on top of a spine going across the hill. I've seen people get jacked on these types of features, when they don't know what it is. This guy hit it with speed of a medium to large step down. He dropped about 25 to 30 feet to flat. He was wrecked and seizing like crazy. I have no clue whether he survived, but I doubt it.

At Mount Snow on Carinthia on the new Farm trail, some snowboarder came up and tried to stall on the top, then he caught an edge, smashed his face on the coping and broke his jaw and knocked himself out.

I watched Matthias Lanzinger's crash live in Kvitfjell, Norway back in 2008. He went down doing like 80mph and his leg basically torn off from rotating. He ended up having to amputate.

saw a naked old asian man on the trail when going from harmony to emerald chair. Skiing saw skis, then poles, then a jacket then skiboots and then an old asian man attempting to pull up his ski pants with a younger woman trying to help him.

I was on a lift in Killington once when I saw a couple kids that couldn't have been older than 14 literally going through the ski racks in front of the lodge snatching poles. I kid you not they skied away with at least four pairs of nice poles.

That left a pretty fucking bad taste in my mouth for the rest of the day.

Didnt see it but a few years back a kid was packing down the lip on a snowy day by sliding up the 10-50 foot tall jump and accidentally fell over the lip plunging his skis into the snow and breaking both his legs. He just slides features and straight airs now.

Then watching my friend go for a misty 5 off a 10' gap jump and landing about 10 feet from the sweet spot. He immediately pulled up his sleeve to reveal a very swollen, broken wrist.

Last year at our mountains big air there was a pretty talented kid doing big rodeo 5 japans in practice off the 35 foot jump and either he decided to go for double in practice or the lip just sent him and he took it square to the back past the sweet spot. I hear hes a bit messed up but also hear hes fine, he had the oxygen bag over his face, I believe knocked out and heard he coughed up blood. Havent seen him once this year. Hope hes back on the slopes though.

in saas fee a few summers ago and a racer went over the big jump and as he landed, his skis sank into the slush and he then proceeded to break both its ankles. Didn't see it happen, just got told as he was helicoptered off the mountain

I heard that somebody died at granite peak a couple weeks ago. Not sure if it was true or not

Last Saturday somebody landed on their head on the knuckle of the 70 at GP, didn't look good at all. Respect to whoever that was.
