www.oldsnowboards.com Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) That doesn't look right. Certainly not safe. If that wall "Calved off" it would likely kill folks instantly. Mt Hood is getting it's share. Photo from this morning at MHM. Edited March 22, 2012 by www.oldsnowboards.com Quote
BobD Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 That photo was around last winter, when there were large snowfalls in Europe and a UK newspaper mistakenly used it in the story. That's the other reason the photo gained notoriety. Quote
leeho730 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 Similar pic could be taken in Mt Gosson in march but it's 6m (just a little bit higher than the bus) but still snow had to be dug in like the picture. I kinda believe it but sounds like it's fake. Quote
