The way I got it from the horses mouth was that a female ski patroller was on the lift and being evacuated by other patrollers. She somehow got the rope tangled around her neck and choked until passing out. The revived her on the hill and it is said she is now alright.Originally Posted by markGore
I have my reservations about the patrol at Whiteface. They let one patroller bring down a sled without a backup, which doesn't happen at any other ski area I know of unless on a beginner slope and almost lost a sled on a expert slope with a patient in it a few years ago.
I think WF is on a downward slide. What do you think?
