Another Bad Ski Crash.

This one was on Haynes at Jay. Great trail...one of my favs. Happened during a warm up for a HS ski race. Be careful out there with your skiing this week, friends. As Bill Stenger said, things are "fast." :-?

The fatalities always seem to make the news, but there are pleny more serious accidents like this that generally aren't as high profile. If he was transfered to Dartmouth-Hitchcock (the nearest Trauma Center) I'd have to guess that this was fairly serious.

I know Stratton and Bromley have already had to fly patients out due to serious injuries this season.

We had DHART's (Dartmouth-Hitchcock Air Response Team) flight crew in Sunday to do a safety briefing and LZ inspection on Sunday. They mentioned that their "Scene calls" (as opposed to Hospital to Hospital transfers) go up durring ski season.

I make the worst patient in the world. I try to avoid being a patient.

Sledhaulingmedic--what mountain is that? Magic? Man, not much snow in the parking lot area.

Good call, TTB! That was Magic on Sunday, 1/2/05.

Not much in the lot and not much on the hill.

Adicted to snow? Yes. and I'm Jonsin'!

Yeah, it looked like the parking lot. Are they open yet? Burke, another mountain that relies a bit more on natural snow, is also having a tough start. It looks like today's snow will fall south of Concord, NH which will not help them either :-?

I've heard good things about Magic...will have to try it sometime.

Great chatting with you here.
