Happenings Happen

Not every day on the mountain is about perfect turns or powder smiles.Sometimes, it’s about those little mishaps that make for the best stories later.

This week, it was a ski pole that stole the show. A young skier hopped onto the lift when—snap!—their pole bent, then broke clean in two. For a split second, everyone froze. Two pieces in the snow. A very surprised child. And a line of onlookers wondering, “Did that really just happen?”

Luckily, no injuries. No tears. Just wide eyes, a quick laugh, and a brand-new story for the memory bank. Because while skis glide, lifts hum, and snow falls, the truth is: sometimes, accidents just happen.

And honestly? That’s part of the charm of mountain life.Gear can break, weather can turn, but what we remember are the moments in between—the ones that make us laugh later over hot chocolate.

So here’s to the surprises, big and small. They remind us that skiing isn’t only about the perfect run—it’s also about the stories we take home.

See you next week with another sensory moment from the snowy side of life.
