@@philh1826 Yep, La Niña is a painful thing. We've gotten a bit of snow but it's been pretty warm, great for golf and mountain biking though.

@@hammahventures I wasn't there on Thursday, but sorry I missed you guys. I was there Friday, super busy day as well. I'm glad you guys had fun.

@@aaronsloate8169 Should be pretty good, crowds will be mellow during that timeframe and we have quite a bit of snow, hopefully we'll have even more by then.

I wouldn't know, luckily I handed off my camera to other patrollers so we could see what their day was like. I had a good day nonetheless, just no sliding for me yet.

Great videos . Really enjoying all of the content. I am thinking of taking my RV to Brian Head next week. Is there any places you suggest we stay ?

@@JoshuaMercer-r5n You could stay down here in Cedar City where there are more restaurants, grocery stores, things to do at night, etc. or you could actually park your RV in the Giant Steps parking lot up in Brian Head. If it is snowing up there (let's cross our fingers) you might need to move the RV around a bit in the parking lot for our snow removal team though. Have you guys been to Brian Head Resort before?

No, this would be our first time going to Brian Head. We just have heard a lot of great things

@@JoshuaMercer-r5n Well awesome, let me know if there's anything else I can answer for you or help you guys with. I hope you have a lot of fun while you are up here. Please let me know how it goes for you.

@RLForky We did! I'm stoked!

@@skipatrollife-southernutah7805 looks like its going to be a good season

@@skipatrollife-southernutah7805 also hows your knee

@RLForky I can walk pretty well, it definitely hurts a little more as the day goes on. I have an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon next week, hopefully I'll know more at that point.

@@skipatrollife-southernutah7805 sounds good

@@began4939 I am very serious about the Ski Bike, especially while my knee is having issues. I wouldn't be able to carry anything or pull a toboggan though, I'd have to figure something out for that. Gotta love Trash Duty. 😂

@@skate_ave9213 Thank you!

@Building_With_Bricks I will look into that tomorrow morning for you and post up a quick Short on Lift 3 and the rest of the resort. I'm sorry that it's making your planning difficult - hopefully it's running by tomorrow.

Thank you!

@RLForky Merry Christmas to you as well!

@@matthewreynolds2208 I should be around at that time, I suppose it depends on whether I get surgery or not. Thank you for the kind words. Have a great Christmas!

@@austindotson8170 Thanks man, have a great Christmas.

@@BrentPeterson1 Nice! How is your EMT going?

@ really well, testing out in mid January!!

@BrentPeterson1 Excellent! We do hire throughout the season, once you get your certification you could contact Andy our Ski Patrol director and see if we are hiring. I was hired onto Ski Patrol in February the year I started.

Thank you, I'm healing up pretty quick. I hope you guys are having more winter storms in Georgia than we are out here! I'm hoping our Christmas miracle is a huge snow storm! 😂 Merry Christmas!

@@andreforget7593 Thank you, it did feel good to do something positive and help fellow injured people. 😃👍

Yeah, I always feel a little silly asking that question although the answers can be interesting sometimes... Wow that sounds like quite a serious cross fit injury! More than forty years on Patrol? Where do you Ski Patrol at? Thank you for your thoughts and input, it's great to hear from other Patrollers.

@@jasonurevig5775 That is awesome! That's exactly what I was hoping for. I appreciate your input! Do you know which brand he is using?

@@skipatrollife-southernutah7805 he has a Skibyk

@RPmasterrblx Thank you for the kind words, I'll do my best.

Yep, it was glorious! *This is my drone YT channel. 😃👍

It was gorgeous out there, beautiful days we are having. Hopefully we'll get a storm shortly though...

@@skipatrollife-southernutah7805 yh get more snow and some lovely powder

It was a very nice peaceful day today.

@@skipatrollife-southernutah7805 It certainly is😄

@@began4939 Thank you, the MRI says I have two tears in there, one is from my last deployment in 2009 and the other is new... I'm thinking I'll ski, at least a little, tomorrow at work. Should be fine... 😜

@@began4939 It does actually feel MUCH better than it did two weeks ago - I think sliding is in the near future for me. 🤘

@@PowFairways Oh man! That's a huge bummer! Sounds like the wife and kids had a good time though. I hope your knee has healed quickly.

@@TonyAndersonWebDev Thank you, I'm walking around even better now that it's almost been two weeks. Still waiting to see the orthopedic doctor to read my MRI though. I'm hoping there aren't anymore tears, fingers crossed!

@RLForky So far it's been pretty good, we could really use a couple of good storms soon, the off-piste areas are getting thin and icy. Fingers crossed!

@@skipatrollife-southernutah7805 oh sounds like a huge storm would help

Thank you, I'm hoping to be sliding around soon! I'm starting to think it is just strained badly. Where are you a patroller?

@@skipatrollife-southernutah7805 Just moved to Calgary, Alberta where i patrol at WinSport. Site of the 88 Olympics.

Thank you, I appreciate your kind words and taking the time to watch these. It's fun to do these videos. Where do you snowboard?

@@douglasachtzehn6676 Cool! I hope you guys have fun up here!

@RLForky Thank you, the knee already feels much better than it did a week ago.

@@georgecuster527 My knee already feels much better, I appreciate your thoughts. I'll be just limping around the patrol room helping anyone that comes there today - so at least I'll be a little useful. Have a great day! 👍

@@RobBane-e9y I did on my very last day on the mountain for that season, but I wasn't working.

@@snowcat09 My front pack? It is something I picked up from Amazon, I like it a lot. I added a radio pouch and a bigger side pouch for my little drone and camera gear. The bottom attachment is where I keep most of my medical equipment and the rest goes up top. I could find the actual brand name of it if you'd like. Mine was around $80-90 for the base part.

@@Storyteller543 I'd say you really just need to have your medical training up to date, be able to ski or snowboard well, and live near a ski resort. We also require our patrollers to be at least 18. Do you live fairly close to Big Bear or Summit?

​@@skipatrollife-southernutah7805 i do not, which i realize as a problem. Do some patrollers live out near the resorts just for the season?

@@skipatrollife-southernutah7805 I really dont live close to them unfortunately. Do some patrolers move out to the area just for the season?

@@Storyteller543 Yes, we have guys that live in parts of California for fire season and do Ski Patrol here in the winter. I did fire my first full year on Ski Patrol but we already lived in Cedar City.

@RabJ123 What part of the U.K. do you work in? What's that like? Thank you for the compliments and taking the time to watch my videos.

@@coastergurl7 I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you heal up quickly!

@@josephreichart7545 Thank you, I'm hoping I recover quickly.

I hope it heals quickly as well, I got an MRI done last week, we'll see what the doctors have to say... Have a great Christmas!

@@began4939 I'll do my best!

@@began4939 Ice?! What ice?! 😂

The first step is getting turned down by ski school.

Google National Ski Patrol Some resorts require you to be a EMT others are members of NSP Go to your local ski area and talk with Ski Patrol. They will help you with becoming a ski patroller

Real Ski Patrollers Ski not board. You can't Ski cut, safely use a sled.

It varies a little bit for each resort, the first step would be to contact the resort you'd like to work at and see what their requirements are. Generally you'll need to ski or snowboard well enough to ski every part of the mountain with a toboggan - you'll train with a toboggan so don't worry too much about that aspect. You'll need medical training, most of us are EMT's. Having a desire to be of service to people is an important trait. I really enjoy helping people, sometimes it's the worst day of their lives and you get to make it a little better. There are resources online that can steer you in the right direction as well. What resort do you live near?

​@@rileybriHah! Yes, exactly correct. 😂 Not in my case, our Ski School instructors are fantastic and have the patience of saints, I am very grateful for them.

Thank you, I enjoy using my drone, I figured you guys might like to see what the runs are looking like currently. I get an MRI on Wednesday, doctor believes it's an ACL tear, I am inclined to agree.

@@skipatrollife-southernutah7805 Bummer, good luck.

@RLForky Yep, I wouldn't see why you couldn't come here and get that training done. There are numerous schools that teach EMT courses out here.

@@skipatrollife-southernutah7805 ok sounds like I will do that

@@Elephantsworld33 Thank you, Doctor thinks it's a torn ACL, I've got an MRI set for Wednesday. We'll see what's up, I feel like it'll take surgery to fix.

@@skipatrollife-southernutah7805 bummer, sorry to hear that. I had to go through that myself....best of luck on the recovery 👍

@@Elephantsworld33 Thank you, I appreciate that, I'm glad you healed up. I got the MRI yesterday and will be headed to the orthopedic surgeon next.

@@paulkelly4870 Thank you Paul, I should be good, I'm generally a quick healer.

@@honuhonuhonu Thank you, I will be seeing the doctor today, I'm hoping I just pulled something in my knee as opposed to tearing it.

@@bgsumo40 Yeah, it will be awhile before I snowboard again, I'm hoping I can get this knee stabilized quickly so I can get back on the mountain.

@@jasonurevig5775 Nice! Where are you patrolling?

@@doofy2238 That's awesome to hear, how are you enjoying being a Lifty? I did that for a while at the beginning of my career at the resort as well, it is a very important job, and not an easy one.

@ so far so good, really enjoying being out here in the mountains

@doofy2238 That's cool, even on a rough day sometimes I'll stop for a second and take a look around at the snow and the mountains and feel grateful to be there. I hurt my knee working up there yesterday, I'm hoping I don't need surgery my season is in question now.

@@gageedmondsonski24 We need another couple of storms to come through, our snow makers are creating a good base but we really need some natural snow to make it happen. I apologize, I can't really give you a timeframe, watch the weather, when you see that we are getting storms we should be open more terrain. My fingers are crossed.

@@RLForky it's getting better, we could use another couple of storms though.

@@skipatrollife-southernutah7805 there is a storm tomorrow for me

@RLForky Rad! I wish we had something on the way, currently we have nothing but sunshine this week. I hope you guys get a ton of snow.

@@skipatrollife-southernutah7805 I wish were I live we never have snow we have like less then a cm of snow

@RLForky Sounds like you guys need a bunch of snow.
