Rain, Mauna Kea, Skiing, and Altitude Sickness
Did you go back up, voyager?

Incidentally, on 23rd Dec a pickup truck with plenty of snow in the back lost its brakes driving down from the summit and flipped off the road requiring the emergency services to attend. I've not heard about injuries and hopefully, there were none, but another warning to drive safely, especially on the way down and use your gears and engine to slow your vehicle and don't rely on the brakes.

I'm sure there must be an equivalent warning for skiing MK, like don't rely on rocks to slow your descent!
