Just sent a e-mail to ski patrol at Crystal. Could those wind speeds be real? I stopped in about 2 weeks ago
when the telemetry posted a 156mph and they said it was correct, but today there must be an ERROR?
We'll find out if they respond cause I don't know any body skiing for a few days.

I don't think the 100++ are real when compared to the other readings. But near 50 mph average and raining hard would make pretty tough sledding.

Feb 2017: Summit wind speed occasionally recording gusts too high. Equipment to be replaced.
