Last night me and some budds went up to our hill to hit up the park the resorts web sight said it was open and the board where you get your lift ticket said it was open but when we got their it was closed some kids said it was closed all day so some kids found a bench and set it up to ride it. 1/2 hour later ski atrol comes up saying they r going to clip our tickets for this what is the big deal. y cant u make jumps on the mountain and y cant u set up a rail?

 
beacause of liability. if the stuff (jumps, rails) are just on the regular trails and not in the park (where it's marked with signs) the hill could get in trouble if someone got hurt and decided to be a dick about it.

 
I am a ski patroller. (Not a dick like the ones you met mind you) The reason they would do that is because the mountain is liable for man made objects on the mountain. That includes benches.

 
there is a guy from alberta sueing salomon and lake louise. salomon for not having his bindings release and lake louise for have a bad jump in the terrain park. he hit the jump and landed and broke his leg. there is a forum about it on this website

 
yeah if someone makes a jump and then a dumbass person hits it then its the mountains fault and they'll get sued. just go to the terrain park or make a jump off the trails like in the steeps or somethin.

Skiing, its so damn hot right now!
 
man today mikee and i went up to camp fortune, and the two rails they had were marked off...we took those sticks outta the way and started hitting the rails because there was nothing wrong with them, but we see this partroller on the lift staring at us. we slide them once more and start skiing away from him, but he stops, gets ready and slides em both and skis away.

he then comes up again and asks if we were about to run away, so we said yea, and he laughed at us and slid the rails again.

that was an example of how chill patrollers can be around here..

'I heard that Richard Gere gerbils. That is, he inserts gerbils into a paper towel tube, which he then sticks up his butthole. I don't doubt this, because he asked me if i wanted to come over to his house and gerbil. I insisted that he come over to MY house, since the whole thing seemed weird. As a practical joke, i attached a bucket of water to the top of the door so that when he opened it, I beat him with a mannequin leg.'-Skydaddy
 
Or they cna be total jerks, especially at the other mountain, edelweiss. They get mad at anything, going backwards sometimes even and like if you have a shovel on the hill and are fixing up the rial jump they get mad...

yeah some can be dicks, but some are so chill. most don't care if you duck ropes or anything as long as you're good

my cousin works at a mountain where they have alot of backcountry he likes to go under the ropes and ride out there but i guess if he has his mountain jacket on the ski patrol is real shitty with him, but ive met some ski patrol guys who are pretty chill and could care less.

arnt the ropes there for a reason??? not just if your good, but more or less if the snow is safe to be on? or if the plan to control the area with slides and shti

 
we had this nice lil jump set up, and there was a big hole from where we got the snow. all these little kids would blow past us (spotter had poles crossed), and fall in the hole and land on top of each other. there were tons of smaller jumps, but i guess they needed to hit that one. so anyway, ski patrol comes down, and says to cut the jump down by half (its a gap, over this lil pit and onto a great landing) i tried to explain that that would make it worse, but he still chopped all the lip off. before he left, he said, 'i dont want nowbody crackin thier head open, and the very next time i hit it, i bounced of the knuckle and smashed my head.

Lets go skiing
 
also when i went up i was orking on riding switch on some of the blues and the ski patrol said no one can ride switch because it is two dangerous

 
I was on ski patrol for a while but I kinda got kicked off (If that's possible) for being to leanient with people and joining in with their activities...

Sometimes they're even dicks to their own people! sheeeeeesh!

On my way to goddom
