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:

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.

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:

Nothing that says NSP!

Redskea, why no NSP logo?
- Pre-record a bunch of two-way radio chatter onto a tape/ipod and play it through speakers hidden in pockets. Serious vocal tones, but subtle and funny messages are a must: "snowboarder stuck in the flats off chair 3,"....etc.
- Find an oversized gag-store rat and put a patrol dog vest on it.
NSP=jollies for the vollies. Most pros don't give two shits about 'senior status'.Quote:

Someone prolly already mentioned it, but don't forget the studfinder.
Just sorted through wigs (big costume box at home). Theme = clarified.

The only "benefit" was that some areas required senior status to grant "sign on" priv's but I've never run into anyone saying no to my services, but then I rarely sign on because when I'm skiing at another ski area, it's hopefully worth my time to be skiing it and the last thing I want to do is have to work. I did sign on one day while on vacation with my wife. Spent the entire day in the patrol room dealing with injuries and saw something like two runs. The next morning I went right to the ticket window and disappeared into the crowd. Now the only time I sign on is when my daughter has a race, I spend most of my day standing around anyway and they are always happy to have a patroller on the race course so none of them have to spend their day watching seven year olds crash through a course.Quote:

Good Luck,

Sew this little guy on to your shoulder and introduce him as "Chip"

Can we get before and after carnage pictures of this get-up?
heh I think I can get an Outside Mag cover from my neighbor, too bad there's not a copy of Ski Country within 621.9 miles of my house.
kidwoo, touché is all I can say (I'm a poet and I know it)
I am in the process of triage like any good 'troller, deciding what's really feasible to haul around for a long night in an extremely crowded bar. And yes, pics will likely follow.
Ski Patrol Barbie is one of your finer creative endeavors. If you see Elliot, give him a pre-comp run squeeze for me and get him drunk at DBB.
