Who decides what my limit or abiltiy is?

Maybe I misunderstand, but ---- who decides? Of course not resort. How can they? So they have their own rules that they ask people to respect. Like you are asked to respect driving laws even though you might be Schumacher.

Watch out for patrol at Tangram though. They are a##holes.

I don't know the story but sometimes I (and my colleagues) feel that we start off with some people that attitude and whatever do it will critisize.

I would like to know more about it.

and can you give me detailed information and advice regarding avalanches in the area

In my experience - no. The resort does not want to be responsible for people doing things outside of their limit and if people doing it is their own responsibility. Even so if something happen out there, some implication for resort. Always someone who is able to advise about it within resort I guess. In fact, many patrol might not be so educated in it anyway.

If you know the reason for something it makes it easier to accept. If I knew there was a danger there that I hadn't seen for myself, I wouldn't go in there. Resorts need to provide more information

I basically think it would be nice but it will not happen I don't think. Anyway usually there is sign saying danger because of avalanche or something I think. Perhaps if you ask then they will answer it. But do you always need explain for everything in your life like that?

Some resorts use a lot of advertising with pics of off-piste but yet have hords of patrollers stopping people from going to these areas which is hypocritical

I think so. Actually I told it one resort I worked at and they said "it's イメージ" (like photo of product saying real one might change from photo!)

It is long season and sometime really good snow conditions also.

[Your view on what patrol should do at resort]

Hello. Sorry again delay. I am busy now for preparing season. In my experience I work in 3 resort in Japan in Yamagata and Nagano. This year I will be in Nagano again.

 

I am interested in your ideas. I think also that safety is the most important thing and making sure no accident. Marking trails, avalanche control work, helping injured people yes.

 

How do you think about the "customer service" thing? What does that involved?

push the company to open terrain that is safe to ski, ie closed areas. Patrol shouldnt have to try to catch people or play a police roll everyday.

Sometimes the resort cannot open some area becqaue of legal issue for example protected or somebody own. In this case if people go into place that clearly marked "don't go", we have no option but "catch people" as you saying. Surely it is the person who go into "don't go" area who is wrong, not the patrol????? I can't understnad it.
