Old School Ski Patrollers

These guys are pretty annoying. We were making a kicker just into the back country one day and we had it at about 5ft high at that point and this patroller came skiing down and stopped just before getting into the backcountry, laughed, and then said quietly 'Oh well, when they hurt themselves we don't have to save them'.

This guy really needs to see a movie like Ski Movie 3 or he could just realise that he was in waist deep powder and that when you fall it doesn't hurt unless you rip something.

But yeah, another thing about this is that he saw our skis and the old school instructors around here disrespect us people on twin tips so much. It's retarded but they always look down on us cause they ride old 200cm skis and think that the skiing they do is so much harder than hitting a jump. Little do they know we ski just as much pow as they do.

i dunno about u but where i ski theres 2 types of patrollers...theres the guys who are constantly on a power trip and then theres the guy who are in it for the fun of helping others out and gettin to ski for free...at my ski area theres a lot of the old patrollers who are down with newschool cuz they see us having a good time and staying out of the way of the newbies...and the up tight guys always have a pesemistic out look on crap...like if ur skiing switch all the way down an empty trail they try and warn you for hazerdous skiing. so just shrug them off and do ur own shit cuz all they're trying to do is make themselves feel superior becuz either they have a low self-esteem or have a mental disorder...but i feel u steve some patrollers reallly get on my nerves when it comes to stuff like that but little do they know my dad is one of the higher senior patrollers at our hill..hehe

yeah, i think every place has a mix of those two types of patrollers. the key is to make friends with the right ones. then when the uptight ones see you with the cool ones, they will give you more slack.

before my parents moved my dad was a ski'ranger' at our local hill, there was ski patrol too but the randers were there for the weekends and stuff and didnt have all the training of the patrollers but still got season passes for their family. however whenever a ski patroller would give me shit i would flash something that let him realise i was a racer and a competent skier and he would shove off

this topic has come up way too many times, seriously, if it's at a respectable resort (whistler, jackson, vail, etc.), then the patrollers deserve respect, they have to have their shit together as far as helping injured people and managing avalanche danger

Yeah, ok... I went back and found my story from some miraculous stroke of luck. Here it is. This happened in about early February:

I was riding the lift at Nashoba Valley, MA, on Tuesday, and my friend's ski falls off. I get off the lift and get to the ski before he does, ski down a little ways, and put it on the ground facing downhill, thinking that the brakes will stop the ski from impaling any small children. Apparently, this ski's brakes are defective, as in; they no longer exist. The ski runs away at a million-jillion miles per hour, and smashes into a slalom gate at the bottom of the hill, breaking it, then flies more than 25 feet in the air, does a misty 7, and lands, finally stopping under a double chair. I was laughing my ass off, but Betsey (yes, with an extra 'E') apparently didn't. Betsey, for those fortunate number of you who have never ridden Nashoba, is a completely anal, menopausal, evil, sadistic patroller who doesn't use poles. The day before, I had seen her screaming at a 6-year-old kid at the top of the lift. The kid was sitting on the snow, crying, and she was standing over him yelling, 'I do this for a living, and no pipsqueak like you is going to mess up my day for me!!!!!!!' Then she chucked his skis about 50 yards into some bear-infested woods, realized they were rentals, and risked her own life for the sake of a pair of NASHOBA-OWNED skis. Anyway, back to my story. So, Betsey freaked out, whatever, no big deal. I come back today, Wednesday, and find that I am in totally deep shit. I am no longer allowed to race with my school at Nashoba and Betsey is all set to call the athletic director at my school. I saw her today, and out of the blue, from absolutely NOWHERE, she pulls this accusation out of her ass that I was trying to kill some coach from another school, or something. She took my name and some others' in this little lebian-notebook she has, and tried to steal my friend's skis. She tried to get me banned for life, but she didn't succeed. Then, the coach whom I had supposedly tried to kill (whom I had never seen before) walked up and punched me with his chin.

And that's my story.

He punched you with his chin?? Well i have two asshole ski patrol stories to tell.

So I was skiing at Bromley, vermont, where i always ski, and im in the pipe. It was like the second run and i was still warming up and was half asleep. I drop into the really small pipe and i mess up and my ski goes flying down the pipe. It goes off a jump after the pipe and continues to fly down to the base of the main lift. It hits into a gazebo, which has abolutely no use, and the ski came within 20 ft of these 3 year olds and little kids. I ski down on one ski to get my other one, and this retard ski patroller yells at me for having my breaks get stuck up, which i had nothing to do with. What an ass.

My ohter story was i got yelled at for skiing fast when no one was around me

haha i got a funny patroler story.....

my snowboarder friend who isnt good was touring on the flats jsut out of the park..... he was trying to get alot of speed to cut infront of a bunch of little kids in a lesson... he didnt make it at all so he realized he just had to go through them...... one little kid fell with his little snowbboard on the ground set up like a ramp..... my friend hits the kids board and goes flying about 10 feet into the air and down off the trail... he must have done like an inverted 5 but it was nust..... so the patroller that was watching rushed down and followd the little kid, who was completely fine and got up sooo quick.... but the partoller followed him anways to see if he was alright.... while my friend layed there knocked out cold with a broken arm and bruised ribs.....

ok, disregarding my post above about respecting patrollers that actually deserve respect- i ski at a shitass hill in south dakota, and all the patrollers think that they're hot shit, and so we're all skiing down to the 'pipe' one day, and shannon schad's brother was with us, and for the hell of it he sits down on the backs of his skis while going down the hill...a patroller construes this as being reckless, so starts after him- this patroller is a total asshole. so we ski through the pipe, the patroller still coming after us, and he had started to yell at us at the top of the pipe, but nobody wanted to hear about it, so we all took off down the pipe, and at the end two of the kids launch out of the pipe, pull a 180 and flip the patroller off in midair...they stomp the landing and ride down to the lift...the patroller then shows up and pulls their passes for 'endangering other skiers' by sitting on the backs of their skis...total bullshit if you ask me. but taht's skiing in sd for you

patrolling can be sweet though, my cousin patrols at loveland, CO and he skied 200 times this past year, plus he got paid for it....oh yeah, he gets to ski any where in north america for free, he just has to wear his jacket and sign in...... so incase they have an emergensy they can call him i guess

Ski patrol is there to save your ass and when they do you thank god they're there, the rest of the time you wish they would fuck off. If you'r building a kicker in the BC they shouldn't screw with you because your in the BC, your gone, right? IF you've just jumped a fence, call that the BC and patrol can see you of course they'll stop you. You need to be smat enough to plan your location, tell people you'll be out there so if you get fucked up there is some support, and then go big. IT's all about planning and preparation. Most good BC jumps take a couple of days to dig and shape, and then you have to wait for snow to go big. Just think things through, go where ever the fuck you want to and thank the ski patrol if they have to save your ass.

 
i plan on being a ski patroller when i graduate highschool.. all ill ever do is get baked and keep kids from killing themselves in the park.. maybe even go on little outings ti th bc w/ them lol ill be like the schweetest ski patroller ever

-Peace-

 
do you have your EMT yet? you'll need that in order to be a patroller at most ski areas. that and if you want to patrol at a bigger resort you'll need lots of backcountry and avalanche safety knowledge...being a patroller isnt always the easiest job, they have to know their shit.
