Replying to Boarder saved my ass

So i was riding around through a closed run today with the park crew. long story short I got caught and one other kid did too. I have no idea who this guy is, but he was friends with a crew member. He told the patrol guys that he was crew staff and that I was too and that we were just "testing the new snow to make sure that it was not too sticky (bad machines). so the patrol let us off easy and didnt cut our season passes. He was a snowboarder, so i guess not all of them are bad.
