Always making fun of each other while picking up and untangling kids from their skies. But that wannabe 'cop' would get his phone thrown away and his skying boots would be our trophy. Guarantees!

[@ape8404]

Idk, this seems to be an east coast thing or resort by resort. Where I live and ski (Colorado, PNW, Utah), the ski patrol is super chill and although we get a shit ton of snow, so no reason for trails to be closed, they generally don't put up closed signs even when conditions are iffy, just warnings. Unless the lift is straight up closed, and you'd get stranded. Never had a patrol power trip on me either or be anything more than a medic or information provider. Europe is nice, I've skied in Austria and Switzerland, but we get more and better snow here :)

[@sSteppingStones]

@ape8404 yeah the snow in Europe for the past few years has been rough

[@garyjarvis2730]

Not always. The generally polite Europeans can become real fools on the mountain. From cutting lines and stomping all over each others skis to pushing and shoving whenever in a queue. Maybe it's gotten better but while the scenery was great some of the skiers, not so much.

Ummm...I'm from "out west", and even the cops are not going to arrest you for skiing a closed run. Patrol can tell you to leave, yank your ticket, or void your pass, but skiing a closed run is not an arrestable offense.

[@alexanderwang2256]

nice

[@burninrubba65]

100% at worst they could blacklist you and pull your ticket. Most likely just pull your ticket for the day though

[@neutralcommenter7800]

Two thoughts. The run was clearly closed - and it was apparent why because this not so great skiier could barely make it down. Also, this would be a simple trespassing situation (they would take your pass and ask you to leave) and the only reason the cops would come is if you refused to leave and even then they would only issue you a trespass.

[@NefariaAdventures]

I was at Whitetail the same day; it was so crowded that it became dangerous. The ski patrol guy is also full of it - I grew up skiing on the West Coast and they would NEVER waste the cops’ time over someone skiing on a closed trail (the nearest cops would be over an hour away at most west coast resorts). At most, they’ll pull your ticket for the day for skiing out of bounds, or maybe your season’s pass for three infractions. My brother has gotten into some trouble in the past for that sort of thing. Not encouraging going on closed runs by any means, but I’m not sure why the ski patrol didn’t just ask for your parents’ contact info when he realized it was a group of kids.

[@alexanderwang2256]

[@ddbear8786]

Never just follow the crowd. Sometimes when I go to the grocery store I see 10 people standing in the same line just because they see other people doing the same thing, when there is another checkout counter that is open is no waiting. People want to copy everyone else. I learned to not copy crowd behavior.

[@alexanderwang2256]

[@fwblok836]

You mean crowd behavior to obey all rules? wtf was that run closed at all ? Looked like a simple run and dude that filmed it perfectly proved that by having no skills at all and just fell because off his skis were set at weight 10 kg.

[@ddbear8786]

@@fwblok836What if the run was closed because they are about to use a snowcat grooming machine? That would be extremely dangerous. Are you joking with your comment?

[@sciroccosven]

For those curious about this mountain. The black diamond area typically keeps away riff raff that fall a lot or dont know what they're doing because you have ti enter through a rather steep but short trail. The lift typically moves at a good pace as it only services people that have made it down a black diamond in the first place. Its been quite a few years but there's usually one trail left with heavy moguls for the majority of the trail. The black diamonds here arent very challenging aside from the moguls at least imo. It faces the wrong way into the sun all day and create some really nasty ice, this was indeed excellent snow for the whitetail and the east coast in general. Love whitetail when the snow is great. The main sections get busy but its usually pretty peaceful on the expert side.

Good thing the two other skiers you almost ran into in the space of 5 minutes managed to dodge you. I'm loving the enthusiasm but you should take skiing a bit more seriously before you hurt someone or yourself. Not trying to be mean but skiers like you are a danger to everyone around them and with the speeds involved and the large blades strapped to your feet it's very easy to break bones, paralyse someone or worse. Gotta respect the mountain dude!

I had a friend who would always push the limits. At Hunter Mt. he went down a closed trail, at the bottom of the run they had the snow guns going, and as he skied through he ran right into the pile of rocks that they were trying to cover. He sprained his thumb very badly and as it was still very early in the day, he had to suck it up and ski the rest of the day in extreme pain.

[@Arborez]

The only reason you would be popping out of your bindings like that is because either your DIN is set below what it should be or you are riding much too aggressively for your skill level. If DIN is set properly, the only time you should ever be ejected is when making mistakes riding the terrain or falling.

I think the patroller is wrong about PA law. PA law probably provides that if you're injured while skiing on a closed run, you won't succeed if you sue the resort. That's different from saying that it is "illegal" to ski on a closed run. I doubt that police are authorized to arrest skiers who ski on closed runs. But still, no one should ski on closed runs. That run was clearly and unambiguously marked closed, regardless of whether you saw people on it or what you were told by the lift attendant (who has no authority over terrain and should have told you to ask ski patrol).

Never had a problem with West coast Ski Patrollers. They are very kind and live to be on the mountains. If you see a run roped off just don't go on it. I wouldn't be surprised though if a lifty said it was fine to go down, they don't pay attention to everything.

[@tomasdvorak5815]

That "akward dude" was right tho. The binding has several configurations depending on agresivness of your ride. Thats why any serious ski shop will ask you to fill out form with your weight, height and SKILL LEVEL when configuring your binding

[@humanbeing2420]

If a run is closed, don't ski on it. The resort always has good reasons for closing a run, regardless of how it may appear to you. A run might appear to have enough snow to be skied, but that might be a dusting over rocks and grass. They know better than you because they're observing conditions 24-7 and they know how much snow has fallen and where. And even if it does actually have enough snow to be skied, they may still close it for other reasons - they may want to make more snow on that run before it's skied or they may be about to use the run for race training, etc. In any event, it's their mountain and they make the rules. You pay to ski there subject to those rules.

This is stupid. You had to ski around a rope that had a "Closed" sign, and you claim the lift operator said the run was maybe open? Whitetail is a joke now days, people buy that season pass so on every cold decent day the crowds flock to the ski area. Even on weekdays. And with the milder winters in the Mid-Atlantic, your window to ski is maybe max 8 weeks. Lines for everything. Not a great experience.

[@alexanderwang2256]

i feel like it is getting worse

[@bmorecarefulinbmore]

Grew up skiing whitetail and now live in Co. now. Vail resorts makes you take a class to get your pass back after you get caught ducking ropes. Also, it's technically illegal to ski closed terrain in Colorado and is punishable by a fine up to $1,000, so the patroller was kinda right. That said, I've never heard of any mountain actually calling the cops to enforce it. Usually its a talking to, or if its avy terrain they pull your pass for a week or two and send you on your way.

[@james6420]

Cool fact over the east coast. Most places are open border to border only downfall is they don't patrol closed trails so if you get messed up nobody is coming to help. So this dude doesn't know shit a cop would be bullshit to waist his time for a closed trail

[@sacha5234]

It is insane to me how the ski patrol works in the us, at my place in france if there's a closed slope, it means you will go there at your own risks, but you will never be punished for it, ski patrols are not here to enforce laws. Also the guy was telling you to tighten you binddings a bit more because your skis detach from your boots too easily but you should do that with someone who really knows what he's doing because with the wrong settings you could increase your chances of knee injuries by a lot
