Deadly Spine At Central

Hey, Summitpunks can fix any of this stuff that i got wrong, but here goes:

So i was skiing a bit at Central today, around 3pm. I noticed that the spine was swarming with ski patrollers, so i went over and had a look. they had a measuring tape out and were spray painting the snow around the landing of the spine. This is what i collected from other people on what happened:

A skier (dont know name) Bombed the spine from the top of the park. The skier hit the spine with considerable speed. The skier cleared the whole 60 feet of the spine. Then cleared another 20 feet. the skier probably got 30 feet above the point from the point where he/she landed at the highest point of the jump. And for all of you that have seen the summit park, 20 feet after the landing on any feautre means flat flat flat.

So the partol said they sledded him down. The spot where the skier landed was all marked up in paint, and they said that it was 80 feet from landing to takeoff. All i can say is that i hope whoever the skier was is ok, and that there isnt any internal bleeding or anything.

I got all of this from many different people, so im not sure if all of what i gathered is exact, so if you know any more, feel free to correct or add.

patrol was just doing that as a liability issue, not that you dont wave every right when you BUY a ticket or pass, but its for lawsuit reasons.

Yeah, Summitpunks, can you give us updates if you can find out details?

Yeah, 60 does seem rather large, but the spine is at least 40.

my intire crew waited for his ass at the bottem of the hill and beat the shit out of him. i broke his poles agianst a tree, and we snapped one of his skis. fucker got uppercutted so much. he was bleeding from his eyes and shit, crying like a little pussy. i busted out a body slam on his ass and broke both of his arms. the ski patroler broke up the fight and clipped all of our tickets. we where gonna beat the shit out of the patroller but my mom came to pick us up.
