Scout was on rope for the first time last weekend! We headed North for our ski patrol refresher and Sunday was lift evacuation practice. Scout will be skiing on her own this year and probably riding the lift before the end of the season. It only made sense to make sure we can get her off on case the lift needs to be evacuated.
She will wear the chest harness all the time while skiing. We will use it to make it easier to pick her up or guide her when needed and it has a loop in back to hold her securely on the lift. We will carry the swiss seat in our patrol packs (along with our own and Ace's) and put it on her if needed. She can be locked onto the chair with her chest harness while the seat harness is being put on and while we put on our own.
The ride up.
Climbing out of the chair...
Almost to the ground. Scout is attached to the rope with a prussik.
All smiles after the ride...and cheers
