Why be a Ski Patroller?

Why do the Ski Patrollers at Brian Head (or anywhere) do what they do? How do we handle mice inside the Ski Patrol shack at the top of Giant Steps? Who am I? These and many other questions are answered during Deep Dive video. Thank you for watching!

Empty chairs, empty runs!! SO LUCKY ;) Thanks for all the great, fun vids man & as always "Thanks for your service to our country!"

Very lucky indeed, that was a very nice day. Typically the closer we get to the end of the season the fewer and fewer guests there are, and we have really fun snow right now. I appreciate you watching and commenting.

Shannon...thank you for the great Robert sighting.👍👍

[@skipatrollife-southernutah7805]

It's always a pleasure to capture the rare, and wild Robert in his natural surroundings! You are quite welcome.

Thanks for your service to our country! Enjoy watching you ski patrol. I ski patrol at a small hill in northern Minnesota. I volunteer the same reasons you do.

[@skipatrollife-southernutah7805]

That's awesome, I appreciate your kind words. What is your resort called?

@@jasonurevig5775 Very cool, l will look you guys up while I'm at work today.

I salute you for your service. You didn't say how many years...5 deployments suggests a few. I was Army...2 years 7 months 14 days (not that I was counting) with only the one year deployment to Vietnam for a year.

[@skipatrollife-southernutah7805]

I was in a total of six years active duty in the Marines and three deployments, then another eleven years in the CARNG with two deployments. I'd would say one year in Vietnam is more than enough, I thought of you Vietnam guys while I was doing Jungle Warfare training in Okinawa - I'll take the desert any day - the jungle is the most gnarly terrain in the world. I understand why you were counting the days. I appreciate you Vietnam vets, that was some serious combat.

Hah, thank you. I feel like I'm about 12 years old mentally and 74 physically.
