Ever have a near-death experience? This Main Chute on Mt. Baldy at Alta Ski Area. I stop by now and then to thank my old friend for chewing me up and spitting me out ALIVE.

I’ve heard I was the only one who fell the entire way from top to bottom and survived. I skied away with only a dislocated shoulder many years ago. Thanks again, old friend…
