Ski patrol deals with more serious injuries, Graff said, but summer brings more cases. Social media and GoPro cameras push bikers to bigger thrills, Prescott said, but modern gear tempers the risk. "Injuries are not necessarily worse. We're just seeing them in different places." Graff said his bike team deals mostly with scrapes and lacerations, followed by upper extremity injuries -- fractured clavicles and tears in shoulder CARNITAS COMBO BURRITOS 1723 UTE BLVD., PARK CITY, UT 84098 Summer Vibes Even with bikers jumping 10-foot drops and smashing through banked turns, Graff said in the summer, "the vibe is a little more laid-back. Maybe it's cause everybody's dirty." That's not to say Graff gets to lay back on anything. With 25,000 summertime users taking an average of six lift rides each, trails erode rapidly and the radio rarely shuts off. Keeping up with trail conditions, he said, takes up most of his time. "It's not a stagnant process." Still, 500 or 600 daily users beats the 8,000 guests the resort hosts on a typical winter day.

When an injury call comes over the radio, Graff sends bikers first. "That's our fastest way to get around the mountain." It still takes 15 minutes to ride the 14,000 feet from Bald Mountain to the base. Skiers finish that descent in 2 minutes. Graff said in summer, "Everything takes us longer." To evacuate serious injuries, Deer Valley wheels in its ATV. Canyons rescuers steer their Suburban up the slope. To reach tangled brush off-trail, patrollers on foot drag in a stretcher. "It's hard seeing people get hurt," said Prescott, noting that might be a patroller's toughest duty. That pain yields the greatest reward, however. "People don't suffer emotionally or physically as much because of our patrollers." Even bikers with intact clavicles welcome patrollers, who bring patience and compassion to their hectic sport. Bikers and skiers who have suffered injuries "know what it takes for them to soothe and care for us," Prescott said. That knowledge accrues from CPR training, AED certification and Outdoor Emergency Care courses. Canyons patrollers take these classes during ski patrol training. Fulltimers also pass a large part of their lives in the bike saddle and shape into lithe athletes. Wed/Thurs/Fri July 3-5, 2013 Graff, smiling and gesturing broadly, pauses to direct three tourists to an easy trail with great views. He said he enjoys the diverse summer crowd. "We have a very loyal downhill community that's here year after year, week after week," he said. "Then there are a lot of tourists new to mountain biking. There are a lot of crosscountry locals." Those groups can ride the resorts without anxiety, knowing bike patrols are around the next turn.
