Ski Patrollers’ 15 Minutes
Posted on Monday, October 27th, 2008
Here at Cloudveil, we’ve been receiving check-ins from our professional athletes stationed around the world. The following was sent in by Susie Molnar about her 15 minutes.

My name is Susie Molnar and I am a full time professional ski patroller at truTv’s “Ski Patrol,” a new reality show that debuted Oct. 20.
Bunim/Murray Productions, well known for its work on “The Simple Life” and “The Real World” chose Blue Mountain as the ideal place for this show due to the patrollers’ personalities as well as the large volume of people we deal with (370,000 skiers, boarders and tubers flocked to Blue Mountain’s flanks last year!)
Thanks for your support and look forward to a wonderful winter!
truTV has this to say about Blue Mountain:
Climbing to a height of 1,082 feet, Blue Mountain is the highest vertical ski slope in Pennsylvania. Its three terrain parks include a snowcross trail and a 350-foot halfpipe. The slopes feature 33 trails for all abilities spread out over 155 beautiful acres, with the longest run spanning 6,400 feet. The trails, which are lit for evening fun, can be accessed via nine lifts, including the only detachable, high-speed ski-pack lift in the region. Blue Mountain is also home to an immense snow-tubing park. And the park’s extensive snow-making and grooming ensure perfect conditions on every slope.
truTV’s overview of “Rough Start” airing this evening:
The day is off to a rough start when a call comes in of a little girl laying injured and trapped in the rugged backcountry. But her remote location along with a storm rolling in is making it nearly impossible for patrol to pinpoint her. Meanwhile, a group of kids put everyone in jeopardy when they jump off the ski lift, a beginner snowboarder gives up mid run and a skier who’s traded in his snow pants for a toga learns that it’s not always a party on the slopes.
