R_CordzLast Spring my friend and I got our passes pulled at Alta for hitting the rope gap off Sugarloaf into Gloryhole. Mountain safety clipped our passes and took us to get lectured by ski patrol. When the mountain safety guy left the patroller asked if I got the shot of my buddy hitting the rope gap. I showed the patroller the clip and since according to the patroller my buddy "took it deep" we got our passes back.
icedI got bitched out for trash talking the park staff's inability to install a 5ft battleship box that nobody has hit for the past 5 years
BaconSteezburgerWe're gonna need to see the clip
R_CordzHere's the Clip. The yellow jack was disguised by wearing a blue lift jacket. He's standing across from me in the clip.

Park_RangerWho the fuck are the people that take this job? Who in their right mind wants to stand in the middle of a ski run, dressed like a buffoon, probably freezing their ass off while having to be the fun police that everyone hates? It would be the most negative job and such shitty working conditions... just standing there in the cold yelling at people.
theabortionatorWhen you're working trying to keep the park nice, while people are crashing into you, bitching that they're favorite feature is in, you should have set the flat rail as a down, people poaching to side jump when you're trying to rake, and then people having nothing but negative things to say, and not structuring it in a manner that's even remotely constructive.
Fuck, fuck the park, fuck that feature, fuck this feature, gets old after a while.

IsitWinterYet17What did you do wrong here? Was the rope down in front of the yellow jacket? And your friend just jumped the one to the side? Or was this dick seriously waiting for someone to go down a closed trail?
SendyMcSendyfaceAight, what the fuck are yellow jackets? I've skied all over eastern Canada, and have never seen one, and we evidently don't have them at Targhee.
Profahoben_212Vail owned resorts only.....but some independent mountains also have them...basically safety police.
Targhee definitely doesn't thank god. Neither does squaw/alpine which is chill....but instead of having a dude in yellow slowing people down on the sketchy areas they have patrol.
VolcanoBurritoI’ve been working with Vail for a few seasons and have had many encounters with yellow jackets and patrol over the years. Every time I just let them lecture the shit out of me and act super sorry. They usually just see that I’m an employee and let me go.

strayln_SkierA yellow Jacket pulled me over once for skiing switch to fast or someshit. He said that he only stopped me because his boss was watching. He asked for my pass and said he wouldn't scan and just made it look like he scanned it. Legend of a bloke.
icedI don't bitch or bother park staff. The patroller pulled up beside me in the lift line to fill the chair when I was talking to my buddy. I get where you are coming from and all with managing a decently sized park;
Context for my previous post: there are literally 10 features in my park, with is a sorry excuse compared to the past seasons. People buy passes expecting a certain range of features. This year they only installed 2 rails for fucks sake. It couldn't be plainer that they don't want to take the time to groom and maintain features. The staff are lapping me. As for the battleship box it use to be to flat ground to blow out everyone's arches, but then they fixed it up but fucked up and made it on an angle. Every time I go up the lift I see kids slide sideways off the top of the cursed thing
Edit: they literally crossed off the L and XL on the park sign

BSmith99Me and my buddy were jumping over ropes into closed off trails/sections- super fun, and doesnt pose a risk to anyone but ourselves, so why not. We hit one to find an "undercover" ski patroller waiting who pulled my 2 DAY PASS! So I took the stub and went to customer service and reclaimed my pass

JoeC92Not really ski patrol but more like an instructor:
Today around 6:00 pm I came down to the lodge and just ucipped my bindings to run inside and grab another hoodie because it was fucking freezing. I didn’t bother putting them on the ski rack because I would be back In 10 seconds more or less. Before I can reach the door this ski instructor kid not much older than me (probably 18 at most) stops me and makes me put em on the rack even though it was barely busy and almost the end of the day. I decided not to argue with him because he seemed like the type of cunt to call ski patrol and have them take your skis or something. In the process of me leaning my skis up someone’s rental pole falls on the ground and he has this shit eating grin on and nods toward it. FUCK YOU IF YOURE READING THIS ALPHA SKI INSTRUCTOR DUDE.
Btw this guy was leaned up against the rack opposite me and there were tons of skis (mostly rentals) on the ground.
