How many first outs does it take to........


At Keystone Ski Patrol we have a system called first out. What this is is a way to always have at least 3 patrollers ready to respond to any emergency. In front of the dispatch window are chairs where you sit if you're not on a work project. The patroller in the first chair will be called on first, hence the first out chair.


Today the dispatch wasn't keeping an eye on the chairs and let the patrollers stack up a bit. We actually didn't have enough chairs for all the patrollers in PHQ. Everyone was laughing so hard that when the dispatcher saw us he just said, "first 12 go out and ski and make nice with the public".


It's Monday, it was kind of a weird day.
