Patrol Tip of the Week

i HATE that triple, like 99% of the chairs have pieces replaced with wood of the incorrect width so one piece of wood is always digging into your butt..

I am a big believer in putting the bar down. First of all, when I was in college, a school mate of mine leaned over to unbuckle his boot buckle and fell off the chair onto a concrete slab. Paralyzed for life. I've also been on high speed quad that started to move BACKWARDS as much as twenty feet before stopping again. It's one thing if you're on the end, you can grab the armrest, but another if you are in the middle seats. Second, I want to use that foot rest. It saves your knees, and it also helps keep your feet warm by allowing you to neutralize the position of your foot in the boot so the weight is not on that vein on the top of your foot AND it prevents the circulation in my legs from going. I loved Alta except there wasn't a footrest on the whole mountain. Every run I had to wait at the top for the fizzies in my legs to stop before I went down the hill. So, if you ride a chair with me, the bar is coming down. I'll warn you first, but it's coming down.

i rele dont care about the bar because i have never felt i needed it. People should have to courtesy though to announce they are putting the bar down. i dont know how many times if been knocked in the head and almost off the lift.

Please, for the love of god (or whomever you choose) put your restraint bars down on the chairlifts! The chair can stop very quickly, in the case of an emergency, and the possibility of falling out is there. It is also a very good example to set for "new" skiers and riders who may not know about the risk.

 

I am curious, for a mountain that focuses on beginner ticket sales. Why would they put this picture up?

They're obviously just about to get off of the lift, that's why they are looking ahead, checking for loose clothing and keeping their ski tips up.

Maybe they're turning around to grab the bar and put it down.

 

No, no ski poles in hand, they must be boarders.

Papasteeze doesn't make his kids pull the bar down so he shouldn't talk..

 

And you should troll in the blue forum and no where else.
