But if you've ever jumped a lift or contemplated it- don't, even if the lift is stopped and there are safety bars. In March of 1986, Jay got a massive dump when I was up there on a school trip. About 3/4 of the way up the old Bonnie Double liftline where it was at most 5 feet over the snow surface, I jumped off and enjoyed the powder run of my life. I must to sit in da box now......feel shame. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SkiVt-L is brought to you by the University of Vermont.
