I wish I'd known that patrol does this. In December at Killlington I was taken out by the hit n run snowboarder on a black. I wasn't injured but my nerves were so toast and my confidence obliterated from what I considered a very traumatic experience that I would have loved a ride down the rest of the trail. I layed there for a good 15 minutes getting my wits about me before getting up and skiing down the rest of the trail I had countless people ski by me asking me if I was ok. I hope this never happens again but I was secretly wishing a patroller with a sled just happened by.
Yes. I always stop when I see someone down, to see if they need patrol. Well, not always, sometimes it's not safe. Unfortunately, sometimes the person tells you they are resting. In the middle of the run. Sigh. What gives?
