I also soconded the roll of medical tape on a biner, leatherman, HUGE radio, roll of flagging, and some serious long straight skis circa 1985.
Oh, and did I mention I'm a patroller?

Looks like your costume will be dialed... I'd also add a rollof Duct tape on another carabiner to your tool belt.
As for Patroller expressions, I got spanked a couple of weeks ago by a patroller who caught up to me in the lift line (I was going pretty fast) who held my pass for emphasis while explaining to me how he'd "seen someone killed by a skier doing what [I] was doing..."
Yer all a bunch of jealous wannabes & wankers.:D
Get a couple of empty paper tubes, cap the ends with tape, the bigger the better.... paint them red or bright yellow, fashion something that resembles safety fuse the loud colored P-cord should work.
They will make great accessory mock explosives.
Spend time juggling them.
Watch out for the police.
Take along a 10 inch piece of 1/2 " dia. conduit and probe the guy of your choice.:eek:
I made this "shot" last night. A wrapping paper tube, file folder, some coaxial cable, homemade stickers et voilà!Quote:

Nice. Are you flying to this party? Hope not.
What about a big 'NO TRAVERSING' sign stuck to your backpack?
This is so true it hurts.Quote:

I used to be a patroller, but I was always off smoking weed in the trees with a buddy of mine that patrolled on a monoski and had dreadlocks.
36 posts and I can't believe nobody mentioned this essential: A cigar! You must have a cigar, how else do you expect to light the fuse on your explosives? I can send you a large NSP cross if you like to attach to your jacket. Let me know by PM.
If there's any kind of line, say for food, make sure to pull up to the front and ask them to hold up for a chair, then snag the goods. Or tell them that the dip doesn't have clearnance yet and dive in.
Stud finder to replace a beacon. A dozen rolls of white tape and giant bandage scissors. Everything patched with duct tape for the pro troller look.
We have a winner.Quote:

Most important, start drinking early in the day so that you have a hangover by the time the party starts. "Cause if you can't patrol hungover, you can't patrol.
Also, hit on every girl at the party before the lifties get to 'em.
(BTW - some of the best skiers I know are volly 'trollers. Jeans and all!)
Perhaps you have me confused with Manique.Quote:

Dcut tape: Have a roll on a biner, but also make sure at least 25% of your outfit is "repaired" with it.
Close off half the party: but make sure its the part with the beer, then stand there telling no one can drink it because they might drink too much, then invite your friends over.
Dress someone else as a rescued gaper: and don't forget, they need to be tethered to you via harness, and you need to belay them off the couch.
Dig a snow pit in the cushions of the couch.
And since this is meant to be hot troller girl costume, make sure to bend over while digging said pit, belaying, etc.
SAM splint.
I decided to make a few appropriate decals so no one can accuse my 'troller of failing to represent.

God I feel like such a tool. I have a few of those decals, just a few, on my truck. I assure you and the Mrs, that I do not have match.com, nor the lab one. But I do own a lab. Monique, if your really interested in looking like one of the people I work with, let me know. I might be able to hook you up with some logo stuff. PM me with the time frame you have and I can see about getting some stuff to you for your costume. Heck I might still have a "rusty" for you to wear.
Jay
Those are great until the injured fellow (boarder, cause they always break their wrists)leaves the area. Then your out $20. I replaced a few, now stick with the cardboard and save my SAM for family and friends.Quote:
