not me, I like ducking ropes for freshies, but I guess I'm not very badass, or maybe the ski patrollers at Seymour are just really lax. It does seem that way.
one of my friends dropped a beach ball sized snowball onto the patrollers when they were all going down in their little formation.. the lift guy didnt even say anything when we carried it onto the lift LOL.
but he dropped it and hit one of them square on and the patroller fell over.. the snow was all soft so we knew he wasnt hurt but they surrounded my friend in this circle and interrogated him.. he told them to fuck off and they kicked him out, took his skis, and made him walk down the hill
we havent gone back since and he got his skis back cause his father threatened to sue or something..
me some old lady complained because i was rippin switch down a trail but there was no one on it and she said i was a hazard. thing was is i didn't even know it happened until i was stopped like five runs later by a faggot patroller who had my description and saw me skiing switch again.
oh yea... i didnt get in trouble for this one but along with some friends i managed to roll a huge ass snowball made from hard ec ice down a black diamond and knock over some kid watching it
haha that happend to me this year, i ducked into it, and right as i got to the bottom there was a ski patrol, but i got away from him and went inside ad changed my jacket. they never caught me.
You all have some nazi ass patrollers. I've never once in 10 years seen anyone get in trouble for anything but skiing too fast in a slow zone. Busted for skiing switch? Ghey.
a few times. Last year I gave the name Simon Dumont. A few years ago I was Barney Gumble. Before that I was Davey Beckham and Yoon Olsen da Svede. I get the feeling every time that most patrolers don't pay much attention to skiing or popular culture.
last week we were skiing under a lift that was like pure powder and a lift full of ski patrolers were like if you guys go down that we will radio down to base and theyll catch you or radios ARE faster then your skis so we flipped them off yelled fuck you and ripped down it anyways and never got caught theyre all douche bags
my mtn justs clips your pass, one clip is a warning 2 is a week gone 3 is a month and 4 is a season, poaching a closed trail is always a clip and doing other things can give you 4 clips. If you get one clip you can just say you lost your pass and get a new one because they dont put them in the computer.
ya earlier this year at sugarloaf i was building a jump before the park opened on another trail and a loaf bitch came down and got a 'code' off my pass and radio'd in. im sure sure if im on it or not.
Yeah i am i broke my poles than i skiied fast down my hill while banging my half poles. ANd htey chaserd me down my hill saying that they told me to slow down like 5 times wheni did not here them once.
haha, my mountain is so lax. On day me and some friends were skiing a closed trail under a lift, and 2 lifts filled with instructors passed over us, and they didn't care. Then some asshole saw us and decided to report us to a guy in a grooming machine, and literally talked to the guy for 20 min, but the guy didn't really care at all. we had already passed by him twice coming out of the trail. Unfortunately, the lack of rules also leads to our park getting filled up with small children who practice cliff drops of the landings of jumps and shit like that.
i got my pass pulled for three weeks the other day and they told me if i get it pulled one more time (4 total)then they will suspend it indefinitely- so i guess that's a warning
i got my pass pulled for like 6 hours for jumping off this thing behind the lodge. now im on the stupid list and if i get it pulled again i dont get it back till i watch some stupid safety video.
dont think so but me and my freind jumped off the ski lift, then when we were getting off at the top the lift operator srood up looked at us and started writting down what i think were our descriptions to warn the patroll about us or something.
haha me an 3 friends poached a closed pow trail in the dead of night and we got put on their blog hahaha
it was like,last night ski patrol saw 4 poachers at night, we remind you that this is a violation hshah
In the beginning of this year, I almost got put on it for making a little quarter pipe with a rail stall (just a rail set up sideways on top of the qp). They let me hit it though, then they left and destroyed it the next day.
hahaha if your just polite (not to polite like calling them sir and shit) they will usualy let you go without clipping your pass or for alota you guys putting you on some list thing
I cursed off a liftee last year, that's about it. Ski patrol was never called. He was just following orders from the liftee at the bottom and didn't really give a shit...
last weekend i jumped off our chairlift near the top, there was a ski patrol looking right at me hehe. so the next time i came up the chair he was standing there waiting for me, so i flipped him off and jumped off in the same spot! my friend laughed so hard he almost fell off after me it was great. oh yea they told me one more 'incedent' and my season pass is gone.
i was riding up a 3 person lift solo today, and i was streched out across the lift. There was a patroler about midway up on the ground, just observing the hill/lifts, he radioed ahead and when i got to the top there was a patroler waiting for me. He started going on about how lifts aren't designed to be used that way, and that he's seen me skiing switch before and that skiing switch is a hazard to others on the hill. Then he called me a bad example. I don't know about you guys, but i kinda take it as a compliment to be called a bad example.
i dunno man when ever i get yelled at patol i usaly yell in french or german ... " i dont like that shit comming out of your mouth" and usaly the let me go...
I wish my hill had a list, or at least had patrollers that actually did their jobs.
On a recent Saturday night I was bowled over by 2 out of control snowboarders that had no business being anywhere but the bunny hill.
You had moron gapers fresh off the farm, wearing their carhartt and orange camo building shitty jumps on the side of trails launching themselves into skiers just trying to go down the damn run.
I was hit by a skier that was so out of control he broke both of my Goode poles when he crashed into me. After yelling at him for 10 minutes that he should learn to turn and stop before trying anything other than the tow rope he had the audacity to tell me that I cut in front of him?!?!?!?
WTF?!? Does anyone even know the skier's code? DOWNHILL SKIER HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY!
Where was ski patrol during this clusterfuck of a night? Nowhere to be seen. I was so pissed that I went into the patrol room only to find 2/3rds of their staff sitting around and having coffee. I realize its a small hill and most people there are gapers, but WTF, you put on that patrol jacket you have a job to do. It's not just a way to get a free pass.
