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.
