Should ski patrol start carrying tasers for unruly skiers?

What do you think? It would make patrol chases a lot more interesting, but I still dont think they could catch me

Sure. But they obviously can’t use them on any minorities or members of the LGBTQXYZ community or else it would be racist/intolerant/sexist.

This will present some difficulties on the slopes as riders are often 100% covered up and not openly advertising their sexual orientation or color. As such, ski patrol will have to nicely inquire prior to tasing.

BigPurpleSkiSuitWhere do you patrol?


Loveland. Like half the patrol are racing dweebs and like ski academy kids and big mountain dorks or super duper badass do it for the gram peak baggers.

I don’t know where you live man, but I know a lot of patrollers, men and women, who are ridiculous skiers. I mean, I’m from Delaware so that ain’t me. I’m just aiight.

But if you think patrollers can’t ski you almost have to live in the Midwest or on the EC.

But hey maybe you’re the best skier on the mountain and no one could even see you because you’re so fast. That’s also possible.

The real question is why anyone would want to chase you in the first place? I got a feeling no one would give a shit lol.

Dude it's the middle of summer and I'm just bored out of my mind. I thought this would be a fun idea for a thread but i feel like you're taking it way too much to heart. Obviously patrollers are some great skiers and awesome people I just like to joke around. I ski at snowbird and there are definitely some better skiers than me on patrol I'm sure, I am not the best skier on the mountain, but I do go pretty fast when I want to.

One time I was helping ski patrol load up in a snowcat to go do avalanche control. The oldest crew Member pretended he was about drop a bag of 30lbs of explosives as I handed it to him. I ran into the snowcat trying to catch it. He laughed and said “don’t worry it takes a lot to set it off”. He then preceded to drop it three feet above the metal floor of the snowcat. I very much came close to literal shitty myself that day at work.

Fair enough duder. If you’re at snowbird I’m positive they got some rippers. And I’ve been on here for years seeing 17 year olds from Vermont or wherever shit on patrollers, so sometimes it’s hard to tell, my b.

And sofakingsick shit hadn’t me rollin’ bro.

imo would like if they had tasers. Rarely get in chase situations, though once in a blue moon would make a good ol chase a bit more thrilling.

Ski pat who give you shit for skiing fast outside of slow zones are fucking tools.

No but what they should do is give people a big shot of morphine before they pull your pass

Perhaps what would be better is something where if you're caught, you can opt to race any patroller from the top of the mountain to win your pass back.
