re: #286 darthstar

I’m a volunteer with the NSP…only have to commit to 14 days a season…and I get a free season pass for myself and my wife(and kids, if/when we have them). You should seriously consider it. Pro-patrollers are mostly young people (20s-30s) who work summer jobs to finance their ski season (they only get paid about $15 an hour, and have to work their asses off for it). It’s a lot of fun, though when it’s blowing 70mph and snowing (or raining) at the summit and they want to close the mountain, we do have to stand up there and wait for the last chair to sweep the mountain for lost skiers.

Sounds like heaven. But i’m in FL at the moment, so step one is moving closer to mountains. Step two will be volunteering.
