It would only be useful on the busy weekends. Imo it would complicate things more than they are already. Most of the idiots at bear barely know how to board the lift let alone have to go through a turnstile
I'm not on patrol but I'm first aid/responder certified so I've helped them out a few times with blocking jumps etc. Even helped out a few times there's been collisions and what not when there's two people hurt and only one patroller at the scene. Bear has one of the best patrol groups in nepa as far as I'm concerned. Never had a problem with any of them.
I appreciate it. I usually get their vouchers from patrol but since they only had one night of patrol so far I'm not sure if they'll have one yet. I'm also more tempted to go to jfbb to avoid the crowds
I might be up this Sunday, debating on going there or boulder. I don't have a pass anymore so unless I can get a voucher from my ski patrol buddies I'll be heading to boulder. Saturday night is also a possibility.
