Why not use ski regulars in Whiteface search?

To the editor:

Having skied Whiteface since 1984, I was appalled and intrigued by reports of a missing skier last week. Not to take away from the heroic efforts of organized searchers, but some appreciation should be given to season pass holders, who were also looking and know the mountain as well as anybody. What was too bad was that we weren’t officially informed or asked to help until the end of the second day. I am glad that this story has played out as it has, but in the future maybe someone should think about recruiting “the locals.”
