There’s really no such thing as a typical ski patroller. Nevertheless, when you hear the words “ski patroller” you probably think of someone performing a slope side rescue of an injured person. The truth is it takes all kinds of people from varied backgrounds to make a successful patrol. If you’re interested we are dedicated to getting you the information you need to join a fabulous and dedicated group of people who love to ride on the snow and help others.
