BLACKCOMB GONDOLA BREAKING


























































So we had a wicked fun day on the mountain riding around with some friends, getting some old tricks back my feet back on my legs and what not the park is super fun and it wasn't as cold as it was before! They were blowing so much snow with all this cold weather. So we are ripping Solar laps and they were like its closed you can't go up and then we ripped over to escaliber and then to jersey and jersey was closed then back to gondola and that wasn't working so we ducked the ropes and sent it down the landmind feilds. I WAS RIPPING through the flats with rocks everywhere, could have died really. Then we find out that a pole on the lower part of the Blackcomb gondola is bent and they are evacuating the mountain the tower snapped in half! people are on it whistler is going crazy its above all the houses, one of the gondolas is on the ground. There is a bunch of houses under that so its hectic they closed the road and fire trucks are here and the hospital has helicopters ready incase anyone has to go to van! HECTIC TIMES im going to go try and get a photo! BRB.

UPDATE: my brother just talked to one of the kids that was in the gondola that dropped and he got so mangled his feet were out the window when it finally stopped bouncing. He is okay tho, he will be rich.
Its on CTV man they are fast.
