hey jon,

i too used to be on the ski patrol. i quit about 2 years ago and am now in the process of trying to get back on, i am planing on challeging the tests. now you can patrol on skies, a board, or teleys. i ski mostly at alpine valley simply because that is were i used to patrol and can get a free lift ticket there. i would love to go out west or just anywere other than WI. my dream is to find somewere, were i can ski and dive in the same day!

as far as the stuff i use. i have a pair of alpine skies, volkl vertigos with rockeffela bindings (spell), and scarpa boots. you should give the plastic boots a try, they are great. i would love to upgrade to a pair of real teley skis someday or just a newer pair of vertigos. i put on my apine stuff last time i was out this year. i hadnt har it out in almost 2 years. wow, did it feel heavy and clumsy. well, wish for snow! ;D
