When I went skiing this weekend the weather was very bad. It was snowing and raining and you could hear thunder and even see the lightening through the fog. When I took the pictures I was on Lift 9 when it stopped moving for 10-15 minutes and when I was able to get off I heard that it was struck by lightening and was running on the back up generator. I think everyone who was on the lift assumed it was a tree that was struck. When we heard what happened we decided to go back to house and cook dinner because we were hungry. It didn't have anything to do with the weather :). When we skiing the next day you can tell from the pictures that the weather didn't improve that much.
