“They were high marking,” said Berry. “Two young guys out on new machines, giving them a try high marking, nearly rolled it and, in the process, wrenched his shoulder.” The teams could not enter the field without prior approval from avalanche technicians, who said it was safe. Mount Washington saw heavy snow all day Sunday, and even though the ski resort had not opened yet, a constant stream of vehicles and people were seen ascending Strathcona Parkway to see it for themselves.
