Colorado Ski Patrol Convention

Today Arapahoe Basin hosted the annual Colorado Ski Patrol Convention. A few hundred patrollers from around the state gathered for some good fun, a few serious sidebars and lots of (mostly) friendly competition. There were GS Races, toboggan races, obstacle courses, bamboo throwing contests and East Wall staircase races. Chef Rybak cooked them up sausages, shrimp and crayfish. There were even free mullet haircuts. While A-Basin is just getting rolling, most patrollers around the state are either done or almost done for the season. All of us owe this group a big thank you for another fine winter. They make everyday happen at all of our ski areas. 

I think they had fun.
