He told Sacramento County Sheriff’s deputies he may have suffered a head injury while skiing.

Filippidis remembers being in a “big rig-style truck” and sleeping for much of the ride, sheriff spokesman Sgt. Shaun Hampton told the Post-Standard. When he was dropped off in downtown Sacramento, the sergeant said Filippidis got a haircut.

They gotta change the name of that mountain. I’m getting all butt-hurt here.

Is he married?

Married with children, it was his wife who encouraged him to contact police after he called her.

He may have hit his head skiing, although how he got off the mountain remains a mystery.

Going to Whiteface for an annual round up in 2 weeks. It’s a challenging mountain. Because it’s the tallest rock for the weather to hit east of the Rockies it gets icy. And because it’s now run by the state the lodge and bar area have a post-apocalyptic feel. Run down, icy, tall and steep. Never crowded. I love it.

I hear the name “Squaw Mountain” is up for grabs.

I would love to know what really happened. Such a weird story.

I think we'll find out HE was weird.

Yep, NYS state owned. They have invested millions of taxpayer dollars into it recently if you haven't been there in a while.

I am there every year past 4 in a row. I see the improvements. But the relics from 1980 that still occupy places around the trails ... that’s the past-apocalyptic part. Praying for some new snow.

To Post 51: LMAO So Do I (I am 61)

I started skiing Whiteface in 1974. There were no bars on the mountain and 6'12" NY State Troopers all around to confiscate any alcohol they saw.

That's when ski pole flasks came into fashion. LMAO!
