Ski Season

The weather has finally turned, Thanksgiving has come and it's time for the 2007/08 ski season.

After a couple weekends of training and too little snow, Winter Park opened. Last weekend was my first weekend on the mountain. As has become the normal opening over the last few seasons, we were patrolling out of the Arrow lift shack. It's not the best accommodations but it works.

I think one of the best parts about being on the patrol are my fellow patrollers. From the old hands spinning tales of the good old days to the new patrollers trying to figure out where they fit in, it's a great group.

Here's to a great and safe season.
