ski resorts frequencies

[volstag]

hey everyone, i noticed that in the database that there are no ski resort frequencies listed. well when i went up to Kirkwood this weekend for a little snowboarding i happened to bring my PRO-97 along. i got a freq for the kirkwood dispatch.
151.9250.
i forgot to get the PL tones, and i have no idea how to get the input freq. but i submitted the freq to the database. if anyone else happens to be up in the tahoe area, i would apprciate if they could get the other ski resort's freqs. or double check mine.


thanks all

Motorola Type I Analog
855.8375, 856.5125, 857.5125, 858.5125, 859.5125, 860.5125.

If I can ever get off the road (I'm using the WiFi at a gas station) and get some time I will update the Mono County listings with not only the public safety stuff, but Mammoth and June Mountains radio systems also. I have a verified, works on every channel, fleet map, and complete talk group list. I was able to get a ski area handheld to work with one day and verified channel setups and labeling. June Mountain uses two UHF channels, and Mammoth also uses their old VHF system for limited uses.

awesome thanks you guys!

I posted information on the Mammoth Mountain and June Mountain Ski Areas radio systems on the data submission sticky thread. Those of you intereseted in these radio systems should take a look.

The following radio call sign and "code" information is probably not the type of information that would fit on the database. For those who visit Mammoth and want to figure out what they are hearing, the following should help you:

If I didn't pick up all the errors reading this infor in all 5's are Main Lodge base stations, all 6's are Canyon Lodge base stations, and all 7's are June Mountain base stations. At some point a number will probably be assigned to Eagle Lodge (near Chair 15) as construction on the permanent facility there may start in the next couple of years. Sorry the above is out of order as I had to insert this information from my notes and editing it to read correctly for this post is proving to be quite difficult.

Codes (thought to be unique to Mammoth/June)

Code 2 Urgent
Code 3 Life threatening emergency - stay off radio until Code secured
Code Blue Toilet Stopped Up
Burrito Mammoth/June ski patrol uses this term for equipment loaded on a toboggan or sled which carriers the injured. The equipment carried is not known by the author, but probably gets wrapped up in a blanket.
MFA Malicious False Alarm * In reference to a reported injury/accident.
RGS Returned to Groomed Surface (Used by Mammoth Snowmobile Adventures)
RTB Returned to Boarding *
RTC Returned to Carpet * (The magic carpets are moving platforms to lift novice skiers up a very short and nearly flat run for instructional purposes)
RTD Meaning Unknown * (Possibly involves a guest who has been driving or drinking)
RTS Returned to Skiing *
RTW Returned to Walking *
SFR Short Form Release * A liability release signed by a guest who decides not to continue in the ski patrol’s care.


* Ski patrol use for injury/accident disposition


DNF Did Not Finish (Race Department)
DNS Did Not Start (Race Department)
DQ Disqualified (Race Department)

10 Codes are standard APCO (Association of Public-safety Communications Officials) except for:

10-21 Call your base
10-43 Message delivered
10-50 Emergency traffic
10-60 Lift stoppage due to unknown reasons
10-C Non-injured guest carried in toboggan towed behind snowmobile w/ski patrol behind toboggan with rope attached for control
10-R Courtesy snowmobile ride for guest
10-75 Accident involving Mountain vehicle/bus
10-83 Lost child
10-100 Bus driver bathroom break

That's about it except for a 4-5 page list of ski area terminology and slang which is used by lift maintenance and ski patrol personnel. I will not post it unless someone asks. I've gathered the definitions after careful listening over the 18 years I've lived within reception range of these ski areas.

Hope someone can use this information.
