A GoFundMeย fundraiser has been set up for a Mammoth Mountain, CA, ski patroller who suffered a severe leg injury while working last week.
Scott Wheeler will spend the next few weeks in hospital after suffering the injury while working hard to ensure the mountain was as safe as possible for guests following last week’s storm that dumped over five feet of snow on the area.
