so I was at loveland today in the park with a couple other guys hiking the rails. and these 3 ski patrol come up to us and start yelling at us to move down or something as we were waiting to drop into the flat box... and none of us had any clue what they were saying. so it turned out they were yelling at us for hiking the park! they told us we werent allowed to hike the park and we had to take one run straight through the park and ski back down to the lift, no hiking allowed. has a ski patrol ever yelled at you before for hiking the park? it was pretty gay

spark notes: hiking rails at loveland, we get yelled at because apparently we werent allowed to hike the rails (we had to take a run through the park and ski to the lift)
 
yea I think so too no ones dumb enough to tell people you can't hike park or anything for that matter I'd just laugh and ski away
 
yeah but it was a park... haha. such bullshit and all the other patrollers were totally cool with it, it was just these three guys...
 
yea it was.... you kinda had to be there in person to realizes the full gayness of it though. they were yelling some weird shit too...
 
i believe they are trying to enforce the whole if you can't be seen from above youre making a hazard on the hill bull shit.
 
dude, just go to the patrol office or whatever and tell the guy in charge. Chances are there isn't a problem with this and these are just new patrollers who don't have a full grasp on their job in the first week. Being respectful and humble towards authorities will go a long way in these situations as well.
 
I was wondering about that, I was like, how did he quote someone if they haven't posted yet?I still don't really understand how that happened.
 
patrollers like that should just stay the fuck out of the park unless we need sled rides. last season this patroller destroyed the jump for the down rail at smuggs because he couldnt see it and was concerned that some gaper was going to run into it. long story short smuggs should set up there down rail street style. but they cant anymore because someone accidentally ran it over with the cat....
 
last week me and a few friends were hiking the rails at loveland and a ski patroller skied right passed us and said hi and did not care at all.
 
I know a lot of parks that encourage no hiking. They want people doing runs through the park to keep the flow and therefore making it safer. The person doing laps always has teh right of way, and some people who hike dont get that. But i have never seen patrol yell at people for hiking. thats just rediculous
 
yeah, most of them are cool with it. there was a guy today that just made us hike on the other side of the park, which seemed much more reasonable than not allowing us to hike at all...
 
I've gotten kicked off of Vail for hiking the park after lifts closed, but normally even then if you just talk to the park crew who's reshaping features they'll let you chill after hours for a while
 
those loveland rails are more fun to lap anyways, mostly because theres never a line at the lift. but yeah thats pretty wack. patrol power trip.
