Wild sequence from the slopes of Sunday River Resort in Maine of a young skier who inadvertently dislodged a large rock that ended up tumbling down the mountain. The boys stood in disbelief as the boulder cartwheeled down the trail gaining momentum before striking a lift tower with a loud resonating clang.
This video serves as an excellent reminder to all spring skiers that melting snow often exposes hazards unseen during the depths of winter. The same trails you have skied all winter may present new dangers as the snowpack dwindles revealing all manner of nasty objects. With low tide conditions persisting across the nation’s ski resort, proceed with caution.
