    Death at Pats Peak

    There are many that would like to see the return of the ranger program. My intention was to provide clarity on the ranger program, I hope my response wasn't seen as confrontational to you/your post. IMO there is a danger in bringing up the status of the ranger program and (unintentionally or...

    Death at Pats Peak

    IF the family retained an attorney, the questioning would end pretty quickly, re: the ranger program @ Wachusett. This tragedy happened on a non-holiday Monday morning. When the ranger program was active, the rangers were not operating / staffing the mountain weekdays during daytime...

    VAIL SUCKS

    my money is on that he is a card carrying member of the free state project and supported privatizing Gunstock, because "guvmint" shouldn't be running a ski area.

    Ski slope Interactions, confrontations & Fights with and without Mountain Ops/Security.

    So much to unpack here as a long time patroller myself. The video dude stopping in the middle of a trail. C'mon man! The new skooler tucking towards video dude and spraying him. The tuck-n-spray maneuver feels like it was set up. C'mon man! The ambassador. Holy cow if that ambassador was on...

    The "Sugarbush Thread"

    Avalanche Awareness

    I wouldn't get too hot and bothered over posting the pictures to the 'gram and tagging the UAC. I think that by tagging the UAC, it allows for data collection by the UAC to be factored into their modeling for forecasting avalanche conditions. For a perspective on this, listen to the Blister...
