SKI PATROL

[@mccormack_max]

My nose started to bleed once and I had to sit on the side of the slope to get it to stop. These dudes came to my rescue with a stretcher. All I needed was a tissue...

[@nicom4996]

Its a protocol. Im a chairlift operator and I hear all the calls from the Patrol and I can tell you that they need to have all the equipment with them because they are not comming back.

[@danielfradkin07]

then don't call ski patrol.. just ride down and get a tissue

[@Coldstreamer17]

Nico M I second that as an experienced liftee now

[@exostatics]

Lol

[@joaomelo61]

With loss of you blood you can get dizzy, specially in this kind of temperature. Riding down while drawing a line of blood can make you go from a bloody nose to an awful accident

[@whatsernaame1663]

"my leg is in two!" Boy you said that with confidence

[@snowysysadmin59]

yeah i remember when my brother broke his femur in two falling on ice he was SCREAMING bloody murder pretty much. i told as many people as i could that were going by to hurry up and go get the ski patrol while i stayed with him. it was bad. i still remember it over like 15 years later.

They do a heck of a job. Had a skiing accident last year, broke my hip at 10,465 feet elevation. Mountain patrol brought me down safely to the ER. I can not thank them enough for their help, professionalism and kindness. 💝

[@itsgoretecks]

much love for Ski Patrollers, so thankful for the guys who helped me off the mountain.

[@erichhartmann1]

Jack Ganley There’s people who abuse their authority in every single job out there. Worked at McDonalds when I was in my teenage years and my Manager used to scream at people if they grabbed their order 30 seconds late from when their number was called. Half of it isn’t even abusing their authority, they literally just don’t even have the authority to do that and they think they’re in power of stuff their not.

A lot of people see these men and women as "Snow Popo's", but without them, no mountain would be safe. I make an effort to say "Hi and thank you" when I see them. The stress they deal with is a lot more than you would imagine.

[@Bure478]

a mountain is never safe but i se what ur saying

[@ianholmquist8492]

Most of the time they are out there to pull your pass and ruin your fun. Patrolers can stuff it.

[@bulldozer8950]

On most mountains that isn’t true. These guys are amazing. At least on vail mountains they having something called “mountain safety “ in addition to ski patrol. Mountain safety are the real crappy people. They just stand at slow signs and yell at you but don’t actually save or help anyone.

[@abomination6393]

problem with that is that the ski patrol (where i am) can have a tendency to act like they’re the best thing on the earth. some of them are chill, but the vast majority are pretty rude

[@milomitchener4166]

lol i see the yellow jackets as more of snow popo's although much less skilled, and can always outrun them ;)

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

I miss being a skipatrol. I worked at a small hill in ontario. I was the only professional patroller ever in espanola. And the very first to pass the toboggan testing on a snowboard in ontario. My hardest rescue was myself. Only patroller on duty and a marker m46 binding broke and i lost my ski and broke my femur. I had to train people to the to load me and get me down. . Im a logging truck driver now days so time is very limited but if someone ever needs help im in. The canadian skipatrol has my respect.

[@youthofnauseanecrotron5032]

I live in a resort town and my dad and I both work on the mountain, he does ski patrol and I bartend. As weird as that sounds, having both roles in such a close relationship helps a lot. If there's an accident I can tell him how many any parties involved have had, and I know the full gravity of what can happen on the runs and when to cut someone off. Also there's no one I enjoy riding with more, we've both been doing it our whole lives and even at his age he shows me up in ways I'd never expect. He's a great dude and I love him a lot 🖤

[@deadlybladesmith3093]

I broke my arm on an Olympic sized halfpipe (21 or 22ft) at Copper Mountain, CO. This freaking legend rode his snowmobile ON THE HALFPIPE. Their ski patrol uses snowmobiles and not skis, so I wasn't getting special treatment or anything. A skier would been just fine, so it's not like I was getting that when a person was super injured was only getting a person.

I love ski patrol I’m a new snowboarder and knowing there coming to save me if some thing happens it great.

3:29 I like to think that every ski patrol is led by the same dude. He's just that good

[@alix4935]

born and raised in a ski town in Colorado, ski patrol was THE job. our resort tested applicants by getting a senior patroller to lead a bunch of applicants up and down over the entire slope with no break in every terrain, everyone in town had a story about what score they got or how many hours they lasted for. while a lot of the calls were pretty stupid (speeder on a green, tourist got on a too-hard run and is now just refusing to move, stand at the bottom of a dangerous run and strip the season passes of speeders), but in real situations, ski patrol is incredible at what they do. mad respect.

[@parkercushingable]

Last weekend skiing, it was late very close to closing time, snowing. Noticed from the chair a pair of people on an intermediate slope, having a hard time, side slipping, just seemed out of ordinary. Let the patrollers at the top know. Felt like a hero that day.
