snow tubing
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
This was published in the above paper (a metroland publication) on Feb 13/02.
According to the story and staff at the ski hill where I frequent a group of drunk patrons were snow tubing in an approved area. This area has a tow line where people sit in a tube (similar to a tire tube) and get pulled up the hill. They then slide down groomed channels that control their line of descent.
This genius decided it would be more fun to go down the regular ski hill. Despite the protests of staff and attempts to get his tube he ran around a fence and hopped into his tube.
It is estimated he was going 70-100 km/h when he came to an abrupt stop against a pole since he had no directional control.
If you would like to contact the ski hill their website is www.ski-lakeridge.com
