WOOT WOOT! Nukin' in Missoula

[406]

Hopefully storm tonight is good and will fill in...i
If not, downloading sounds likely from what I have seen from people who hiked up earlier in the week.

I see that SB had a sneaker soft opening today, Thursday 12/12.

This photo is not mine, but another chair seemed to have dropped off the Lavelle Chair lift.

Oh great. That's not terrifying at all.
Did Paradise ever open today? I had some things going on today.

Yikes

Paradise run opened at about 11:40, which I observed while downloading Griz. Bet it was fun but I'm choosing to believe that my skis are thankful.

Outstanding surfy 6-8 inches. Got like 7 LaVelle runs before bailing and they were all untracked hero skiing. Snow was about 10% water I'd guess, cushion for pushin.

[stuckathuntermtn]

Noice.

Glad and kind of amazing nobody got hurt. Sounds like they ran the chair after? Having a hard time visualizing how this happened at the bottom, chair shouldn't be swinging that much with nobody on it?

[406]

Although does look like a snowboarder is next in line, so probably his fault :-)

[Norseman]

The lineup was full... there must have been folks on it.

[406]

Perhaps a new failure mode than when the chair popped off at the top. From this photo below(found online), looks like chair came off prior to getting past the loading ramp.

Seems like the loading guide and first halo should keep it from swinging enough to uncrimp...plus riders feet should still be on the ground.


Will be interesting if Lavelle gets shut down for the next few weeks like in 2020...those lift ticket coupons I bought for xmas/ny are not looking like a good investment. Not to mention the lessons planned for the oldest kid.
