"Ski patrol has a serious job to do, ensuring everyone stays safe on the mountain through terrain control, avalanche mitigation, and general safety checks. In general, most ski patrollers are hard working, great people who want to keep everything moving smoothly on the mountain, but you do, on rare occasions, encounter "power tripping" ski patrollers who seems to blow everything out of proportion."
"There are two snowboarders on the ground, but neither look injured, so why couldn't the group have moved to the side of the run? The snowboarder clearly slowed down quite a lot before encountering the group, but why did he pass so close? It's not like there wasn't plenty of space on each side of the group, so the fact that this snowboarder came that close is pretty inexcusable."
Ski patrol ensures safety through terrain control, avalanche mitigation, and general safety checks. Most ski patrollers work to keep mountain operations smooth, but occasional patrollers act abusively. A filmed incident at Sugar Mountain Resort shows a snowboarder attempting to avoid a group stopped in the middle of a trail and clipping the end of a patroller's ski, causing the patroller to fall. The patroller confiscated the snowboarder's day ticket. Questions arise about why the group stopped in the trail, why the snowboarder passed so close despite space, and whether resort rules justified rescinding the pass. The snowboarder slowed but did not stop to check on the patroller. Resort administration required a replacement ticket purchase.
