Who cares what they wear, fact that ski patrol swear at patrons like that isn’t on. I would have asked to speak to a manager on the spot. Hell that video evidence would probably be enough to get the guy suspended from duties if thats the way he treats people.

And if ya listen carefully, after the guy with the camera says that they’re only hasslin them cause they’re young, the dude with the myth busters mo says “No, we’re harassing anybody that’s boarding”, ya can here it clear as, @ 2:11!!!!! What a Wanker!!!!!

I urge everybody to go to Snowbasin’s Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/snowbasin ) and post this or something similar (I just did):

Seriously, is this the way Snowbasin treats ALL their ‘guests’?!

It appears Snowbasin has a lot more in common with Alta and Deer Valley than just geographic location!!!

Hehe, I posted the full edit on Snowbasin’s page, Snowbasin Park’s page - as well as a stack of other snowboard related Facebook pages.

Snowbasin have apparently done NOTHING to deal with these pricks, other than issue a seriously pathetic comment on their Facebook page - which is NOT an apology, and does NOT detail what measures were taken either in reprimanding the offenders or ensuring it won’t happen again:

“We at Snowbasin Resort had an incident yesterday for which we have received much deserved criticism. We are frankly embarrassed by this situation and have taken measures to prevent this type of incident occurring in the future. Snowbasin strongly believes in treating all of our guests with respect. We strive to deserve the respect and exceed the expectations of everyone visiting our resort.”

NOT anywhere near good enough, Snowbasin!!!

what knobs and in this economic environment when every guest and word of mouth (or facebook) counts…
