Question for Europeans:
Are your ski patrol volunteers or paid positions?
Learned today that the mainly volunteer ski patrol in Canada is not how things work in the US.

Don't duck ropes, kids.
If you know #Killington well, you can guess without reading where they went and how dumb you have to be to get stuck back there.
(I know people who've done it. With touring gear. And bc experience. And prepared for the hike out. These people were just idiots.)

Today at @longreads, Cathleen Calkins examines the cumulative toll on ski patrollers who witness and respond to traumatic injury every day on the mountain.
"I’d had this dream for almost a decade, and there are others—each an endless scroll of the anguish I’ve seen. Like the college kid who skied well beyond his ability. His epic fall left his pupils looking like two mismatched drops of motor oil. Smokey, dark, and unequal."

This is interesting. The Marmot Basin ski patrol (including avalanche control and snow farmers) have applied for unionization.

Patrol shift with an exquisite turkey, swiss, and mayo lovingly zip- locked. Yes, ski patrol is a glamorous business for sure
Had a great day at #MarmotBasin in #Jasper today. Sunny skies, not too cold. I’m impressed with the work patrol and avalanche control put into opening new terrain. I’ve skied there for over three decades and never thought I’d see Marmot 2 open for turns.
I’ve skied Marmot Basin in Jasper since I was kid, long long ago. My parents were part of the volunteer patrol there as was I for 20 years. They have a great paid safety team with excellent leadership so if you know anyone interested they have a hiring clinic coming up in April.
