@MsMerope @ai6yr I'm sorry but my dad used to take me skiing there

starting when I was 4

so there's a level at which I find this hilarious

(Tiny Sara was not conquering Everest to put it mildly)

At least this framing gets some views, and maybe some inexperienced folks might learn and realize the risks.

We were in near-snow/sleet on the shoulder of Mount Lafayette one June, starting with 25°C / 77°F and sunny down in the notch. And we met some hypothermic hikers.
