1. Twelve people have been found dead at a ski resort in the former Soviet country of Georgia, police said.

   The bodies of 11 Indian nationals and one Georgian citizen were discovered on the second floor above an Indian restaurant in Gudauri, the largest ski resort in the country, local police said in a statement issued Saturday.

   The 12 people all worked in the building where their bodies were found, the statement added. The Indian Embassy in Tbilisi said it was “committed to providing all possible support” to the bereaved families and that it was working to repatriate the bodies of the 11 Indian nationals.

   Preliminary tests found no traces of violence on the bodies, police said, adding that an oil-powered generator had been placed indoors, near the bedrooms, and turned on after the building lost electricity on Friday. Police have launched an investigation into the incident under Article 116 of the country’s criminal code, suggesting negligent manslaughter.

16. When working at Mammoth Mountain and staying in employee housing we kept feeling really sick. Turns out the exhaust pipe was broken from the heater. We had to have them come four times and they kept leaving this ‘your oven is fine’ note on the oven, didn’t check the heater. They gave us a few free tickets for almost killing us.

17. Alle Jahre wieder 🙁
