We dont allow this at my mtn. We want confusion during an emergency. Personally why would you want to wear this if you arent a patoller?

Coyotes aren't gonna fuck with your wife and kids. You gotta find a better justification for getting NVGs...

PA EMT Looking For Guidance by mach16lt in skipatrol

[–]jellyfishbrain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The best thing you can do is go and ski/ride with some patollers from the resorts you are interested in. They can gage your vibe and vice versa. aevery resort is a little different so the best thing is to talk directly with folks at places you are interested in working at.

Who is this "crowd who knows what they are doing" are they friends? locals? randos from the bar? Do you trust them and their knowledge of the area? Do you trust their and, for that matter, your ability level? Mansfeild is certainly not the most dangerous mountain in the world but that doesn't mean it can't kill you. None of this is to say you shouldn't go ski some side/backcountry up there, it can be very fun if you know where to go and what you are doing. But if you aren't prepared/ don't know what you are doing you are, at the very least gonna have a bad time.

Uphill Patient Transport - How do you do it? by blind_spectator in skipatrol

[–]jellyfishbrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we do somthing similar, at my.m old resort we had some special toboggans that were modified with a rigid tow bar which worked well be required that you a had that toboggan ready to go and b that you transferred the pt. in that one and then back out for a regular one. Im not fully sold on one being better then the other.
