Five minutes into the drive and you're already driving me crazy...
massive fannypack
A meat sled (attach wheels to make it easier to drag around) and hire Gosey to ride in it for the evening - apply lots of Ketchup.

A stashed vile of urine for random drug tests.
sunscreen on the nose, not rubbed in. along with the goggle tan
Webbing and biner around your waist.
Leatherman on your belt.
Shovel/probe on rope on your back.
Got to have holes in your gloves.
Nothing that says NSP!
'I dare to dream and differ from the hollow lies'
Or a Junior Ranger, for that matter.
Mnflyfish and someone else whose post I can't find anymore who offered a cross, it's probably too short notice to send stuff (party is Sat) but thank you, you rock. Thanks to the internet I have lots of stolen logo images to work with, and I have friends on patrol who can hook me up with bits and pieces of costume too.
Redskea, why no NSP logo?
I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.
- 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.
Someone prolly already mentioned it, but don't forget the studfinder.
Just sorted through wigs (big costume box at home). Theme = clarified.
Ski Patrol Barbie

Ya need an Avy Dog and his little coat too. Woof.
imagine if one vollunteer patroller got hurt, and another one tried to rescue him. They would all die!
Most "vollies" don't give two shits either. Worse yet are the "certified" folks. It's not like it get's you a pay raise, just a bunch of extra stuff to deal with. 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.

Hey I take exception to that, to a point. I have a short list of people that I would allow to help me.
Actually, here in the midwest all but a few patrollers are volli and many bring a great deal of skill and outside education to the ski "hill". The guys I was patrolling with this season included a cardiac care nurse, a inflight paramedic, the former National Avi advisor for the NSP, etc. My patrol shift is the one you want to get hurt on.
Good Luck,
Jay

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