What is the worst weather that you have ever skied in ?

[Strat]

Haven't been in so many terribly bad situations such as those mentioned above... I'm thinking Mt. Ellen, traversing on Elbow using snow feel as my sole guide to where the hell I was going because the fog was so incredibly thick... there's something strangely awesome about not being able to see where you're going though (besides the highly increased risk of injury and everything)...

Related story, first time I went to the summit of Mt. Ellen the trail was clear but both sides of the ridge were full of fog... so no vertigo for me, haha...

new yr's day '05

wasnt the coldest or the snowiest or the foggiest but it rained overnight and froze in so vt. should have known how bad it would be when the ticket agent strongly recommended we dont buy a ticket and when we wouldnt be talked out of it mentioned their refund policy.

i dont mind VT ice but that morning was something short of impossible. thank god for the refund policy!
