Skier Doing Loops Across Entire Trail
Somehow Skis Upward
A skier, who was doing large loop turns across an entire groomed trail, has somehow managed to ski upwards, bringing themself back up to the top of the run.
“I have no idea how I got up here,” said the skier as they stood at the top of the trail they had been making their way down. I was going so slowly doing my little turns, it’s frustrating I have to start all over again. I guess I was going so slow I didn’t realize I was actually skiing upward.”
5 Degree Rise In Temperature Causes Spring Skiers/Boarders To Emerge From Hibernation Dens
Spring skiers and snowboarders emerged from their dens like bear cubs in April after the temperature surpassed 40 degrees, briefly, when the sun emerged from behind a cloud.
Jean-wearing skiers, bikini-clad boarders, and, a single skier in a banana costume, awoke from their wintry hibernations to rip and rapple across the widest green circle trail on the mountain, cheering and pizza-ing all the way down.
The hibernators disappeared faster than a snowflake on a heater as soon as a cloud drifted into the sun’s path; sending the spring cubbies back to their dens until the next tropical-like temps prevail.

Lift Ambassador Directing Line Like It’s A Busy Intersection In NYC
Lift ambassador “Chet” was seen directing the lift line like it was a major city intersection using a whistle saying “you’re outta here!” as a skier from the singles line attempted to wiggle their way up to the front to join another group.
Chet was seen setting up cones, “no cross” signs, and tossing skiers out of line like hay stacks saying anyone who crosses the threshold before he whistles will be punished by the law for jayskiing—which is jaywalking except on skis.
Skier Launches Off Jump Doing A 360 Takes Off Like Helicopter
A freestyle skier was seen launching off a jump in a 360-rotation when they began spinning so quickly in air that they took off into the sky like a black hawk on liftoff.
“I saw the skier’s skis start to rotate like a propeller and then they just lifted into the air soaring over the trees like a chopper,” said another skier that witnessed the take off while sitting on the deck of the base lodge eating a marshmallow puff.
The skier was seen safely landing a half hour later on the roof of the summit lodge.
