| Description | Tree down at Intervale
Trip participants: Michael Baym, Abby Spinak, Martin Jaspan, Brian Trip plan: Sleep at Intervale, attend Bretton Woods telemark festival. Friday evening, 3/21/2008, while the summit of Mt. Washington was experiencing 149.5 mph winds, the summit of the Intervale Cabin approach was experiencing enough wind to down a tree. We arrived to find the Yurt, apparently undamaged, but completely blocked by a large tree fall. The tree trunk touched the side of the Yurt but barely and with no apparent damage. No one was inside the Yurt or at Intervale when it fell. From observing the tree debris on top of the snow crust and from the windstorm we suspect the blowdown occurred not long before we arrived (midnight). Another inch and the Yurt would not have been so lucky. |
