stupid question, but what do you mean 'patrolled?' do you have the orange vest, cpr pack and walkie-talkie? should i stop to say hi to the patroller there next time and ask if they're g.c'ers?

yep- I patrol there with the radio and pack, most weekends when there is good skiing and a few odd weekdays here and there. Not usually the orange vest though- too dorky (even for me.) if you see a guy with radio and no vest, that might be me. or it could also be one of the more "obscure" Vulgarians... (although I have not seen him on the trails or in the log book this year for some reason.)

when the trails are in good shape, Minne is #1. Since last week, they have been really good. Mohonk has been grooming better as of late, but I really haven't skied there this season. The views and ambience of Castle Point are just so awesome.

Things are starting to go downhill, but we've got maybe 1 or 2 weeks of decent skiing left.
