well get a load of whats going on at our resort.
some back ground information on what kind of sparked this whole thing: 2 or 3 weekends ago a good friend skied (well call him mo) out of bounds to a super sick area that we always poach. This time he crashed and ended up sustaining a compound fracture to his femur and almost bleeding to death. Thankfully patrol came to his rescue and saved his life. Now before you go and say "oh he doesn't know how to ski he's just a dumb gaper", that is totally wrong. This kid fucking rips, one of the best skiers on the mountain. So anyway, another one of our friends (well call him mike) is helping him to stay calm and not go into shock and all that good stuff. Ski patrol doesn't do anything to him at first because they are so focused on mo, but later he receives a 150 dollar citation and is then banned for the rest of the season.
Now here is where shit starts to get super bad. This kid steve knows of someone who is using a pass that does not belong to him. Since steve refuses to turn him in, he gets banned.
3 other kids were banned for ducking ropes IN bounds to get to an IN bounds run that was also open.
and the last person to get banned was banned for making a comment in our local newspaper blog about how Alyeska is poorly managed. Then the resort proceeded to emailed his sponsors to "draw attention to his misconduct," basically trying to convince the sponsors to drop him.
some how i did not get banned from Alyeska but now everyone that i ski with is not allowed to go back. fuck alyeska, it truely is a terribly managed resort and i know that i no longer support them in anyway whatsoever.
ps. all of the names used here are not actual names.
