Fairbanks Ski Patrol

The Fairbanks Ski Patrol site was down for a few days starting Jan 7th thanks to a hacker. Said hacker took advantage of a security hole in the content management system we were using.

I am going to practice restraint in this case and not comment on how I feel about those worthless human beings called hackers. They get some kind of enjoyment out of destroying things for no good reason. Actually  hackers do us a favor by showing us where the holes in our security are. I had been meaning to make the site more usable anyway, this was a good opportunity to do so.

Running (designing, publishing, writing for) this site, like everything else with the Fairbanks Ski Patrol, is a volunteer job. We are slowly getting back up, with a new design and some new features. We ask your patience as we get back up to full speed and look forward to seeing you on the slopes.

Until then, think snow, and ski or rides safely. We will look forward to seeing you at Skiland.
