PRINCETON - A skier was killed in a crash on Wachusett Mountain Monday and another was seriously hurt in a separate incident. A spokesperson for the resort said a man hit a tree on Salamander ...

The tree on the mountain predates Cressey’s arrival in Arizona in 2010. He said he came across it while hiking Camelback one day and it helped him through a lonely time in a new city.

"The tree appeared by magic and it’s a magical Christmas tree: If someone takes it down or cuts it in half again, the Christmas tree gods tell me another one will appear in 24 hours," Cressey joked.
