I was hiking along solo at a leisurely pace when suddenly I was tailgated by a splitboarder and a skier...the skier had these white and red fat skis that were bent.....I told him so and he said thanks....they seemed to, how you say, lay trench...advertised avi danger high....high on crack...it was overmyhead at all levels on the sherwins...the circus mantra of a closed mountain is a safe mountain is hard to verify from a desk...diatribe done....
