Who here has the Epic Mix app on their phone? If you do, you may not be aware of a feature that I just learned about yesterday: the ability to contact ski patrol.
The other day a friend of mine came upon someone badly injured on the trail. He opened his Epic Mix app, and there's a ski patrol icon on the right side of the upper green bar (see below). When he clicked on it, a member of patrol answered, asked for his location, and if it was an emergency. He said yes and told them where he was, and they had someone there in a matter of minutes.
I've opened this app numerous times and never noticed this before, so I thought I'd point it out in case anyone else is as oblivious as I am.
