Gonna try to remain unbiased here for the sake of discussion… but I seen this on Reddit today… apparently they’re hired to protect the competition at White Face from Terrorism.

Thoughts on shredding alongside of armed police officers? Remember, Your tax dollars paid for this.
 
If they can catch me on skis then I deserve to be arrested

After seeing this I looked into it a bit more and at vail they occasionally use cops in similar roles to yellow jackets with seems far worse imo

Soon to be released Max B* !
 
He should go kick it with the NSP guys there. They can all get together and go pull a 12 year olds pass.

Seems weird because you can't go to jail for breaking the skier responsibility code unless it's blatant and you get someone critically hurt or killed. But yeah let's make people feel more welcome on the hill by arming security guards.

Purgatory bought snowbyks to have police patrol… literally just go to the steeps or trees. I can’t imagine a snowbyk being that nimble in trees or steeps lol

i think i saw that. love the badge on the front. also love that they picked the absolute least efficient snow device ever made
 
Exactly. After I read that I thought “hmm maybe I’m missing something”. Went to YouTube. Couldn’t find any footage of actually skiing steeps besides cliff drops. It was basically just groomers and park jumps

i saw them at SV, but yeah, they seem chill considering their circumstances

one of them smokes weed and listens to Pro Era which is tight
 
I’ve seen ski cops at Brighton and maybe Alta too? in the spring when people are partying. Weird Utah vibes for sure

you may have seen the guy who dresses up as a cop at Snowbird, carries around a siren and a shotski, and will blare his siren/megaphone while saying: "pull over, you need to take a shot!"

would love to run into this guy
 
I teach at Whiteface and one of my kids ate it on a mogul the other day. A cop skied up to the kid, sprayed him with snow and screamed into the kids face "having fun bud?"
 
Saw one at Mottolino in Italy a few years ago. I think he was kidding but he threatened to arrest me if I skied off piste without avy gear.
