It was snowing and blowing according to one of the valet men I spoke to, when a Cirrus pilot decided to take off yesterday afternoon. They were only tryig to go to Eagle, about 20 miles away and over one ridge about 10,000 feet high. They only made it about 5 miles but the chute worked and let them down with no injuries, probably saved their lives.
If they had waited it is beautiful day today. blue skies and sunny.

All together now - "Gotta-get-there-itis" tends to bite one where the sun don't shine, sometimes even fatally.

If only all the pilots in all the world with horrible decision making skills were all rich enough to buy Cirrus', there would be very few fatalities in GA.
