Skiing is a fun, exciting sport that can be shared with your
friends and family. But m any times we overlook what makes our
skiing so safe and enjoyable. Ski patrollers play a big part in
preparing the ski slopes fo r a safe day of skiing and in aiding
skiers who m ight have a question or problem during the day.
Mt. Hood M eadows em ploys 20 full-tim e professional ski
patrollers who spend extensive hours training in all phases of
skier safety awareness, first aid. avalanche control, public
relations and skiing. They are the lifeguards o f the hill and are
there to help you have a safe enjoyable day. Ski patrollers are
easy to recognize because they are all dressed in navy blue
uniform s w ith a green cross on the back.
A patroller’s day begins at 5 o ’clock in the m orning when they
go out on the slopes to check for any potentially dangerous snow
conditions such as avalanches. They mark hazards — rocks
trees, o r jum ps — that may be in the main flow of traffic.
Not only are these ski patrollers excellent skiers, but they are
certified first aid personnel, trained in snow search and rescue,
skier safety and snow conditions. If you are ever injured, stay put,
don’t move. Yell fo r another skier and ask him to call a patroller
As all the runs are regularly patrolled, it shouldn’t be long before a
patroller is there to aid you. They are highly trained to handle any
situation.
Patrollers are on duty thro ugho ut the day to help us “ Be Aware
Ski W ith Care.” If a patroller finds someone w ho is skiing out of
control in a reckless o r unsafe manner, they w ill stop them and
make them aware of their unsafe action.
A t the end of the day patrollers sweep the hill to make sure that
all skiers are o ff the slopes.

The Laser Stones
By Richard Kecakemeti
Laser Fantasy has created a light
show at the Oregon M uscum o f Science
and Industry that features the music o f a
band often called the greatest rock ’n ’
ro ll band in the world. The Laser
Stone's 13 classic Rolling Stone songs,
including “ Jum pin’ Jack Flash" and
“ Satisfaction," highlight the band’s 20
years o f thundering rock 'n’ roll.
Twenty years is a long time fo r a rock
band to stay together, but the Stones
have done just that. And now Laser
Fantasy revives the Rolling Stones,
giving their songs a second breath o f air
after years o f collecting dust in the back
o f record collections. The light show,
w ith it ’s high tech 3-D effects, wild, eye-
piercing colors and mind-boggling
geometric patterns, makes the old songs
seem state o f the art.
I f you’re a fan o f the Stones, you
probably have your tickets already. I f
you think you couldn’t stand to hear
“ She’s So C old” one more time, think
again. This show w ill make you re
evaluate the group. Though you may
have heard the songs plenty o f times
before, the laser show helps you
discover just why the songs were so
popular in the first place.
I f you haven’t heard o f the Stones,
you may think rock ’n ’ ro ll storied with
Duran Duran and that B illy Idol is the
first rebel bad boy o f rock. Check out
