VAIL, Colo. (AP) — Det. Greg Schwartz spies a couple in need and skis up to them in front of the bright yellow “Slow Skiing” sign on Vail’s Northwoods run.
“Can I take it for you?” he asks, reaching for the phone balancing in Lowell Zarzuela’s hand as he snaps selfies of himself and his wife, Angie.
“Catch any bad guys today?” Lowell asks, realizing after a few seconds that he’s talking to a cop on skis.
“It’s not really about catching the bad guys,” Schwartz says. “It’s more about chatting with folks like you. Just letting you know we are around.”
