God, I guess North Carolina is worse than a lot of these places.  There have been more than 1 a year I think.  Last year, some beginner went to the top and did a blue/black for his fist run in his life.  He tried to straightline it and he went into a telephone pole.  When I was skiing at the same place later that season, 2 people broke their necks whiel I was there and ambulnces were called.
Somewhat off topic, but while rock climbing, there were some little kids there(10 y/o) and there were 3+ foot wide crakcs int he rocks they were jumping over.  A kid fell 80 feet and got wedged between 2 rocks.  We could hear him screaming.  They had to get a helicopter and fly him out of there.  The kid was there for a birthday party and his parents weren't there.
i cant take him[liam downey] seriously cuz his name reminds me of that downy bear from back when i was a kid -d loc
Imagine the ns outcry if u(lateralis) were banned. There would be countless threads and petitions to bring u back, it would be like when treadway got banned from whistler. Someone would probably make and sell 'Free Lateralis' stickers and shit. -j
