In case you didnt know Andy Parry has been stuck in Oregon for more than 17 hours now on I84. It makes me sad to see such a beloved ski icon go this way. Andy if this truly is it, what would you want your last words to be?

SofaKingSickwhat's the situation? out of gas in the boonies or something?
I’m not 100 percent sure but from my understanding the highway in Oregon is super fucked since it’s dumping out there and Oregon DOT is doing nothing about the thousands of people stuck on the roads. It’s been really slow moving/not moving at all

Ha ha. That is a hudge bummer. Makes me want to pack some more snacks in my car. Must be bad or I'm sure Kate Brown would have just picked him up and brought him to Mahonia hall to warm up.

Don't worry Eheath will rescue them in his personal helicopter.
QuaffWhy is everyone running out of gas? Supposed to keep blankets and candles n shit in your car for events like this
i'll be the first to admit that i don't have the safety gear in my car that i should for the winter, but you're right, this can serve as a good reminder to put some backup stuff in your car for if you get stuck (especially in the winter)... warm clothes, gas, water, food etc
one of my buddies recently saved another dude's day by having a jerry can of gas in his trunk
This is a pretty tricky spot. If they turn off the engine with so little gas, the condensation in the empty portion could freeze and they wouldn’t be able to turn it on till it warms up. This is probably resolved by now, but keep your tanks at half.
wtf is he doing sitting in his car with it running? Not only does idling your car destroy the environment but he's a skier with winter clothes. He could just hang outside and tailgate the whole day.
"Don Hamilton with ODOT said they had crews working 12-hour shifts to tow away the semis blocking traffic and help drivers who were stuck all night.
According to Hamilton, part of the problem is that semi-trucks were driving without chains on their tires, which are required in that area. That sentiment was shared by other truck drivers stranded in the mess."
Yes, let's blame ODOT instead of the countless jackass commercial truckers who ignored the laws.

Same in Washington, wdot are a bunch of fucking idiots. Dude they have no idea what to do. Plus it never snows, maybe once a year. They declared a winter warring and there was no food in the stores and 4 days offa school
