The next time you're standing in the lift line bitching about nothing being open yet, remember ski patrollers are putting their lives on the line for your safety. RIP.

"Exact cause of death is unknown." Um......


RIP. 'trollers do so much that we take for granted, and put their lives on the line so we can have fun. Tell one that they are appreciated next time you see one.

They are most likely referring to something medical like collapsed lungs or blood loss.

Very sad, and remember, don't duck ropes out west.

You're not welcome in this thread if your hear to hate. This guy died helping skiers like you and I ski safely, and all you can do is hate. The amount of disrespect you're showing amazes me.

This came off totally wrong. Bad mood should never have gone towards this thread. RIP to the patroller.

I just have had alot of neg experiences with stowe. and their patrollers believe they are elitest. ask any patroller at another mountain in the area. they suck.

But it doesn't even matter, RIP, the fact that this person gave their life for my greatest passion is something i will forever be thankful for.

sorry and +vibes to the family.
