So I was driving through Santa Rosa, nm this morning and i saw about 2ft of hail on the ground. That made me wonder if there's any edits of skiing on summer hail.
Anyone ever ski on hail?

I forgot to add that the sun was out so it was softened up and perhaps ski-able

Yeah I took some shitty pics while driving but this better tells the story.

Holy fuuuuuuuuck! I had some SERIOUS doubts on that number. Aha props for delivering. But god damn. That's nuts. Totally skiable man. Get some melt on that and I think it would feel awesome.

This, news companies need to realise that just because I can pile up the snow 10 feet at the side of the road when the plow goes past, it's still actually a foot of snow.
That looks to be a few inches from the pics, although I'm not sure when it melted.
Cool idea skiing on hail though, amazed the weather stayed consistent long enough.

i'm not saying it's not? I just think it's ridiculous, do some people even realize what 1 foot of hail would look like??

I'm sure it settled a ton and melted as it fell so it's not like 2 feet means that it was 2 feet high. It's kind of like how rain is measured.

Once it hailed a couple of inches in August so shovelled it all into a pile and set up a rail. It was good time. I got really wet.

are you confusing hail with sleet or freezing rain? Disregard if my assumption is wrong; however, how did you get that opportunity so many times when there usually is not a base of snow when the hail storms are more common...
