and that he needed to go make love to himself for being so rude.

Scotsman, I wish I would have been there for that one.  Perhaps you were smoking a cig too?  That would have killed me.

Really rude and the guy obviously had a real attitude.

One patroller really comes to mind.  Actually several do.  Without all the voli's maybe the pro's got stuck doing the crap jobs that the voli's did.  

Scotsman, sounds your gonna get guff either way.  In that case sometimes its better to ask for forgiveness than permission.   Take how you were recently treated and apply it the next time you check in for traveling into the bc.  Hmmm...all the sarcastic bs and inflatted ego/attitudes.  Don't we have enough of those already, like cops.

I never seem them so unorganized and dysfunctional.  Really sad.

I heard a report that two patrollers got caught in a natural avalanche while doing control work in the northback to protect the workers still finishing the new lift. One was partially buried and self-rescued -- the other was fully buried and was rescued by the other as he was nearing blackout. I wonder if that event on top of the three missing boarders tragedy has contributed to some of the tension you are experiencing with the patrollers.

Maybe red isn't their color...

Ducking Ropes and touching the untracked backcountry is bad you shouldnt do it. Drugs are bad you shouldnt do them either but Ski patrol and the summit house fine eating establishment now those are good things


Here is a good question How many people do you think will get injured if not killed this year because of dry Niagrias being a main run right off the edge of a groomer???

: Ironically enough, the patroller caught in the avalanche is the head of the program.....little bit cowboy don't ya think??? I have been lucky enough to know a few really great ski patrollers, unfortunately they seem to be the exception to the rule. Anyone else sick of the ego that goes with the red/ orange/ yellow jacket??? Jeez....it's a job, and it's good to be passionate about what you do, BUT GET OVER YOURSELVES!!!!
In my humble opinion crystal and it's owners/ managers are a necessary evil, luckily, i don't live anywhere near there nor do i choose to give them my money to be barked at, yelled at, glared at and snubbed. I am glad they are there so that all the king co weekend warriors stay close to home.
For some reason there is just a huge amount of attitude by the folks that run/ manage crystal...karma will catch um!
Did i see you....at crystal....nope, but i am glad you were there....meanwhile, i'll take the mountain where duct tape is king, and there ain't no freakin' village or high speed any thing.....BAKER ROCKS...
