Here's a morbid, on topic related thread for you.

Where were you when such and such accident occurred?

When the bullwheel came off the lift on North Peak at Keystone, I
was
out racing somewhere, I think Breck. Didn't really hear about it
until
I got home...

I was trying to force my chained-up 69 Toyota Corona up the Alpine
Meadows access road through the snow-drifts when the 1982 avalanche
hit
the base area and parking lot, killing 7. I spent the next several
hours, before finding out about the avalanche, ****ed off that I
hadn't
been able to get to the slopes and was missing the epic powder.


I think my brother's band, Headwind, was scheduled to play there that
night.
