A Ski Patrol is an organization that provides Emergency Medical and rescue services to participants of on-snow sports such as cross-country skiing, skiing, snowboarding, etc., either at a ski area or in a backcountry setting. Ski patrollers provide emergency medical care with many certified through the National Ski Patrol's Outdoor Emergency Care(OEC) program. The OEC program includes all of the content found in the emergency medical service (EMS) provider level of Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) in the United States. Many patrollers, however, may also hold credentials issued by states including Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) or Paramedic. Due to the remote location and terrain, transportation is often limited to helicopter, snowcat, snowmobile, and toboggan. Patrollers are often well versed in avalanche search and rescue and other specialized techniques (e.g., chairlift evacuation, helicopter rappelling). Patrols work to promote ski safety, enforce area policies (where applicable), and help injured skiers when necessary. Ski patrollers also work to set up the mountain before it opens by conducting trail checks, providing avalanche control work, and setting up necessary equipment in preparation for the day. At the end of the day they also conduct a sweep clearing the mountain for off-hours. Currently, the organization is made up of more than 28,000 members serving over 650 patrols.

There are some ski school instructors who ally with an evil land developer to try to sabotage the ski patrol and convince the forest service to cancel the owner's lease on the ski area. At the end, though, the leader of the forest service wises up to the evil ski school's scheme and everything backfires.
Welcome home Macbeth
It's been a long long time
And everyone knows you're here
It's easy to see they care
Banquo's been and gone
He's seen it all before
He took it and then he did walk it
He shook it and then he did rock it
And you know it's true
You never saw things quite that way
She knew it all
And made you see things all her way
Somebody knows for sure
It's gotta be me or it's gotta be you
Come on along and tell me it's alright
It's alright by me
Alas for poor Macbeth
He found a shallow grave
But better than a painful death
And quicker than his dying breath
