You might figure it out from other words around it.Meet Mario. He works as a member of a ski patrol at a ski resort in Colorado. This
sounds like a fun career, but it is very important and demanding. The primary job
of the ski patrol is to protect everyone who is skiing or snowboarding on the
mountain. To do that, Mario and other members of the ski patrol perform many
tasks. They shovel snow off places where skiers walk and keep an eye on weather
forecasts. They also inspect the ski runs and trails to be sure
nothing is in the way that can injure skiers. The ski patrol
must also have special abilities. They must be able to ski
excellently and in blizzard-like weather. The ski patrol
often rescues stranded or injured skiers, so they must be
certified as emergency medical technicians, or EMTs.
Last season, Mario and his team rescued more than
100 injured skiers. For all the work they do, it’s easy to
see why skiers are thankful for the ski patrol.
