The terrain sucks. No need to go anywhere but Breck and Vail.

I was up there today too. Didn't get the rope drop, but i was pretty close.

Hung more towards the middle of that beavers opening and it was pretty funny just skiing past people falling and stuck everywhere. The trees on the next 3 laps I took were pretty great tho! Went back for some Pali laps after that. Groomers were good old ripping fun too.

So uhh a gondola cabin fell off the eagle at Copper during some testing or whatever today. Swimmingly.

China bowl rope drop was great, probably only 75 people there. Got 5 great laps until they closed it for a medical right under 36 at the bottom.

no shit? maybe normalish while testing but man, that sounds bad. I didn't watch the news video, but heard there are only a few people in the world that can splice those cables?

Yeah, that funky powder tripped up a lot of people. Saw some woman fall and almost fully submerge as the layers of the snowpack sunk..like quicksand.

No, the trees are awful there. Stick to WP or Vail.

Yeah china bowl sounded better. Go to vail people.

44yro died in East Vail today. Not clear on details yet, but a cliff may have been involved. Sadness.

**toastybroski** · 11-27-2018, 07:08 PM

Sounds like he died of asphyxiation. He was well known in the community. Very sad.

**zartagen** · 11-27-2018, 08:18 PM

I heard who it was, but don't want to post until I know for sure, but 2 sources said head injury. Fucking bummed, especially after a good friend fractured his skull yesterday. Patrol closed China bowl to get him out.

**MakersTeleMark** · 11-27-2018, 09:32 PM

I'm going to miss you Bindu. A lot.

**~mikey b** · 11-27-2018, 09:36 PM

Condolences to all who knew him.

**montanaskier** · 11-27-2018, 10:47 PM

RIP Mayor

**Wildman** · 11-27-2018, 11:04 PM

I realize this is not a vibes thread but I wanted to share some stoke. He was a big part of the community here in Boulder as well in the Vail Valley.

Always smiling
