Yet another consequence of record snowfall is that safety measures on the various mountains need to be adjusted.
On Highlands, there's a safety net on a turn on a catwalk known as the Tomba Turn (referencing alpine skier Alberto Tomba's 98 Winter Olympics crash into a safety net). On the other side of the net is a cliff with a long, virtually vertical drop off. Due to the amount of snow, the existing net was approximately three feet tall.
Rather ineffectual.
So, Steve, who is known at patrol as Remo, initiated and piloted a project to reconstruct the safety net to better serve its original purpose.
The net is now 10+ feet tall and quite bomber.
The turn is now being called the Remo Turn.
