ThegenericskierThis incident was really freaking bad. Was there that day watching it happen from the main lift. It was caused by an out of control snowboarder who hit the pipe that caused it to burst. Then one of the J1 lift ops thought someone told them to stop the lift because of the pipe. Whole thing is a huge mess. 4
hospitalized with hypothermia. At the end of the day ski patrol should’ve marked off the pipe that was hit with netting or foam surrounding the pipe

zoinkedSki patrol is definitely lacking at beech, goes for the same at other resorts around the area. Seems like it’s not taking as seriously as it should just because it’s east coast
lauraobermeyeri've seen enough cartoons to know that this would result in being suspended by the water in a very silly way until eventually floating to the ground like a falling leaf
ThegenericskierSki patrol here is ran very backwards. The majority of them are weekend warriors on a power trip.

zoinkedFor real. A bunch of power hunger Jerry’s who get off by being dickheads for no reason.
theabortionatorWhat was the reason the lift didnt keep running or start up enough to get people forward 10 feet?
I'm not seeing how the water and the lift are connected in any way.
Honestly if that was stopped for no reason those people should sue. Thats just fucked snd handled poorly.
Or if i missed something about the lift let me know. Haven't had wifi or cell for a while

zoinked@Thegenericskier just saw your line on beech mtn story shit was cleeean
DominatorJacquesLink us up! I can't find anything from him. Something in this thread?
TheDriftingDadProbably on insta
DominatorJacquesNothing there.
zoinkedJust checked their site and they seem to have a pretty rad setup, they usually have a pretty solid park but haven't been up there since they added a bunch of new features to the park.

DominatorJacquesIDK, you got me going down a rabbit hole. I found beechmt, and the ski-deamon_ insta's but nothing about the situation with the broken water main. I thought whatever it was, was about that.
zoinkedOh nah I was talking about his line in the park, but beech mtn hasn’t said anything about the pipe situation from what I’ve been looking for.

ThegenericskierThat’s one of my ski buddies
mattytruis there any clear reason why they didnt just move the lift?
TheDriftingDadSo who is going skiing next week after we get a foot of snow? I am going tomorrow and possibly Tuesday
zoinkedWait when are we getting a foot? Over the weekend?
TheDriftingDadApparently Sunday, but reports are all over the place
zoinkedI saw that, beech mtns website says 4-8 inches and then the weather app says 10-12?? Big difference, either way I’ll get up there just gotta talk to the boss man.
you going up just Tuesday?
TheDriftingDadSo who is going skiing next week after we get a foot of snow? I am going tomorrow and possibly Tuesday
ThegenericskierMight be around here Tuesday. Planning on doing urban in Johnson city depending on their snow
TheDriftingDadI bruised my thigh yesterday at App, so I might be going to Beech later in the week now after it heals up
zoinkedDamn bro sorry to hear that! Heal up soon
