Reply to 2 Illinois teens on spring break killed in a sledding accident at Colorado's Copper Mountain | CNN by Lampwickhu

I used to live in IL, and am now in CO.

Bringing sleds on a ski hill after hours is pretty common, and it’s crazy how quickly it can get out of control.

I did it a small handful of times my first year here when I was younger and much more stupid. We were on the bottom third of a very mellow green run with probably 100 yards of clearance to bail when or if necessary. I had been sledding my whole life and snowboarding that whole season. And it still scared the shit out of me. I can’t wrap my head around taking a sled on a half pipe.

Midwest sledding is generally pretty chill. But it’s mind blowing how quickly you pick up speed with no way to stop or control yourself out here on these big runs.

If you’re ever out here, leave the sleds at home (or take them to a park in town with a normal sized hill. We have those too).

I had leftover lasagna today for lunch.

I burned the cheese a bit in the microwave, but the flavors always meld better on the second day with lasagna, ya know? Probably an 8/10 lasagna lunch.

My right nostril is a little stuffed up. Weird how it can be runny and stuffy at the same time.

Alright. Time to head to the bathroom. Probably just #1, but we’ll see.

(Since we’re discussing things no one asked or cares about)
