So a couple days ago there was a river running down Schleyer, from the first drop under the gondy to that curved bridge. It hadn't rained in a month and was almost 30C every day.

Where's it coming from? I imagine it's worse now, since we've had some rain.

It's coming from the sprinklers under the gondi.

It sucks. You get your goggles sprayed with shit as you come into the wooden bridge/table.

probably to prevent fires from idiots who don't think and drop their cig butts out the gondy before mid station…

water melting off the snow from the top of the mountain gets soaked into the ground, and when it hits a layer of rock, the sub-surface flow gets forced up to the surface.

or it's from the 4-5 sprinklers they have running right around b-line/schleyer under the gondola
