For the trollers out there that work in this industry...are you guys using MDI w/ time fuse or using nonel? Vibes to the family.

A separate thread about Avie control would be more appropriate
“I have a responsibility to not be intimidated and bullied by low life losers who abuse what little power is granted to them as ski patrollers.”

I had a Squaw pass last year for the first time (new to California). One look at it and you can see that it's serious business to patrol and keep safe. I was so sorry to hear about this. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
I'm not skiing Squaw this year, but I'll thank patrollers wherever I see them. I'm sure all of them in Tahoe are feeling this. Sobering after all the exuberance over the great snow this month.

Did squaw contribute to the fund?
It would be horrible if they didn't, for an employee that died while working.

I would assume that his wife and child would be elgible for a workman's compensation death benefit--I believe professional (but not volunteer) patrollers are covered, and of course KSL pays the premiums. The amount would be at least 250K I believe. Maybe someone knows more about this than I do (actually Google). It's very sad to realize that a patroller is worth more dead than alive. Has to be one of the the most underpaid jobs in America.
