I used to work at that hill. That guy that stopped him is actually pretty cool. I used to ski with him through the woods on powder days. So he knows. They just expect him to say something. I'm sure he really doesn't care.
This is wild.... In Whistler as long as you aren't in closed avalanche terrain you can go anywhere out of bounds or with marginal conditions. Granted you are on your own and assume all responsibility.
Yeah, admitting to breaking gay bs rules doesn't benefit you in any way on the ski hill, don't be cry babies about where people ski and they won't bs you
@@privyprivacy4171 I would also say those rules likely engage in sexual activity with other rules of the same gender, not that this has any baring on the quality of their character of course.
It’s a very small mountain with only a couple runs and not a lot of snow, my guess is they don’t want to take on the liability of someone hurting themselves. Dude was pretty chill about it though.
@@abigailshaw2329 I think it’s probably a combination of the snow of the west, and also a lot of resorts don’t technically own the mountain, there just allowed by the government to put lifts there.
Yes I know i'm 4 years late, but I don't care. The main reason why skiing under a lift is dangerous is because sometimes chairs come extremely close to the ground, and if you were to ski under it, it would almost be like a head-on collision. The other reason is that chairlifts in general get you up-and-over un-skiable areas (cliffs, rocky areas) to get to skiable trails, so there's another reason why it's not allowed and extremely unsafe to duck under.
Everything is so restricted in America/Canada. In Europe, you can ski anywhere in the Alps at your own risk, no ski patrol exists here, high altitude forests/glacier skiing with nobody in sight.
In the east coast, many mountains don't have a lot of snow and the trees are often pretty bare and then you've got stumps and roots that catch a ski and cause a crash. The snow in the woods also ices up and causes unsafe conditions. Couple that with the fact that ski patrol does NOT patrol the woods and you have a recipe for disaster with people getting hurt and then no one finding them for a period of time. Then the idiot that got hurt sues the mountain and it's a mess for everyone. Just follow the rules or stay home... it's really that simple.
I worked as a park attendant and worked out of their "hut", 90% of patrollers I know are like this guy. The others just make a bad name for all of them.
@@vanessaxoax7646 Yeah at least here (east coast Canada) all the patrollers are volunteers. They just always have one paid ranger on. Those volunteers typically don't care till you get hurt then they're there for ya, and a good portion are nurses, who wants to criminalize a nurse? hahah
People are so surprised by east coast skiing. Most of the ski resorts like this on east coast are small less employees slopes. They restrict wood skiing because they dont have people constantly on the slope and wont know you need help if you do due to most of the employees being at lifts and very little actually watching the runs. At least this is the east coast norm from my experience.
In the Alps you just go with your buddys and if you fuck up you send someone to get help or call them. Nobody is watching the slopes ever! If you do something alone where you could get hurt and nobody would find you you are just stupid. Ski patrol is the worst thing the us has ever invented
@@spamjunk854 100% same in norway. It's your own responsibility to stay safe, we don't need tons of bs rules thay just make skiing a whole lot less fun
Almost Nobody watches the slopes anywhere. You have a patrol shack on bottom and top. If someone gets injured you just call ski patrol. Only resorts that are overcrowded like vail monitor the slopes because Jerry’s getting run over hurts their tourism $$$
i still think its kinda funny that we dont have patrols like that in austria. You do whatever you do, only if you drive into people and drive away after it they search for you
In austria, if you ski out of bounds, you are responsible for yourself and you cannot sue the mountain. It's not the same here in the states. Here people get stupid and then they get a lawyer
That's "Ski Sundown" in New Hartford , CT. I too am guilty of skiing down that lift line after a good snowfall. I'm the guy who actually blasted that mountain to create the trail called "Temptor".
I remember the game Ski Patrol on the Atari 2700, always makes me think of block graphics and monotone sound effects when I hear or read Ski Patrol. Nice dodge by the guy that got away and glad he didn't split any trees 😂👍
probably nothing to do with the lift, they just don't allow woods skiing. it's pretty unsafe in places that don't get enough natural snow to cover tree stumps and such.
In Utah they don’t, or at least at the resort I go to, and it’s only parts of the lift that are close to the ground cause apparently “people can fall in you,” but I just keep going until people get mad at me then I just do if runs
Cool to the see the little mountain again! Grew up in same town. Up north now, along with much bigger mountains, but the little rundown got me into skiing in the first place
heh, unfortunately you can't outrun ski patrol because ski gear is distinctive on purpose and everyone has a radio "skiier in a black/red jacket, brown pants, neon blue gloves"
The thing I love the most in this kind of video is the sound of the hearthbeat. Also as I am working in French Alps , the rules you got in America make my laught ( I mean sad)
Not much of an escape, You got caught my dude. And as a ski patroller myself we wouldn't even pull your pass we would just talk to you about it. We really just dont want to have to extract you from areas we have to potentially hike out of, makes the rescue a lot more difficult and potentially dangerous. But hey, ive run from patrollers too... most of us dont mind a chase, as long as you dont/didnt hurt anyone else lol.
Pretty dope little run tho. idc if it’s a rule or not. Signs are for the ignorant. Some people have the skill and athletic ability to do things others would die. Dude has some skill obviously
No. These little places get by on beginners, school trips and families coming out for the day. Far too many would see the trees as a fun place to go and would do this with zero experience or ability. Pretty bad for a place when kids are leaving on stretchers or in bags. They already have enough of that with kids thinking they can ski the challenging trails at the end of their first day on skis. Grew up skiing in PA and the trails are full of inexperienced, stupid fools.

My friend and I were on a closed trail and a ski patrol guy yelled at us to stop but we turned into the trees and when we got to the bottom we switched jackets They never caught us
It’s in Connecticut. This is pretty much the biggest “mountain” in Connecticut so it actully attracts a decent amount of people. It looks very small but is surprisingly a lot more decent than you would expect
Americans don’t understand skiing, imposing all these rules! Come to France, Italy, Switzerland and Austria. First off you’ll get actual mountains and 2nd you don’t have a million rules. I’ve seen so much bad press about American skiing. Definitely not going there!
We do this all the time out west. In fact ski patrol does it themselves as well. Had a ski guide we went with on how to traverse the mountain and we did some tree trailing after a snowfall. It was freaking awesome. I'll stay over here lol.
I miss skiing and doing things like that. They should open that part up to advanced skiiers but kids like i was would still go down it and some would get hurt then parents would want to sue. I got called into a local ski resort owner's office once. He explained how people try to sue them all the time and how expensive it is running the place. Then years later they have the big jumps we are all used to now. Back in the day you could get a hole punched in your ticket for jumping on certain trails. I get it now. People jumping into others. Tons of accidents. I had my share and one time slammed into someone at full speed who was just learning. So many stories. Now everybody wears helmets.
I find it really odd that there are parts of the resort you can't ski in North America. If you look down from any chairlift in Europe there are almost always tracks, because it's relatively easy (and relatively safe) for people to work out a route down.
well sometimes areas are closed off due to avalanch hazard, but this is definetly not that. some small states ban treeskiing and other things for some reason, pretty dumb i agree but it's a vast minority of ski "areas".
Is it not allowed ever or just during night operations? Because I’d understand if it’s no trees when the sun goes down, but it sounds like it’s just not allowed period.

“Escapes ski patrol”...so you got busted and you got a laid back patrol guy reminding you of the rules? 😅
The way he worded it seem like he caught someone else escaping on video, who knew he was talking about himself. 🤔
Why is skiing down under the lift bad? We do it all the time and it's perfectly legal I'm pretty sure.
Mountain rules
depends on the hill
So if shit falls of on the lift your not underneath it
Also depends if it’s open as a run because some definitely aren’t meant to be skied on
