Always sad to read articles like this.
With the way conditions were in Northern Vermont over the weekend (i.e., ice shavings on top of ice), I'm actually surprised there wasn't more reporting of this nature. I took a disturbingly long slide on a groomer on Sunday and I was barely moving. I'm glad I wasn't lined up to hit anything.
A lot of snow is coming tonight and how well it's going to bond to the ice is an open question... I'm looking forward to hearing from
@Josh Matta and other locals regareding how the turnaround is coming... I fear that tomorrow's "powder chase" will lead to some bad decision making (i.e., avalanches, slide-for-life, etc.). I've seen various posts on my Instagram and Facebook pages from patrol / mountain rescue warning that Wednesday could be some seriously sketchy conditions.
