Join The Patrol NOW!
We are always looking for strong candidates to become patrollers.
Our 2011/12 season First-Aid classes are now closed and it is impossible for you to complete all
of the training to become a patroller this season.
We do have one option left which will start in January 2012 and run through out the winter.
It's called On Snow First (OSF), a unique program designed to teach you some basic on hill patroller
activities that are NOT First-Aid related. This program is not available at all of our areas and
will be on a first come first served basis depending on each area's recruitment requirements for the
next season. The price for the OSF program is $100.
You will train with our regular first year patrollers. Generally one evening a week from when the snow
flies until you can demonstrate the acquired toboggan handling skills. This will permit you to do all
of the non first-aid testing this year, and once completed, you will be an affiliate member of our
organization. After which You will be expected to come out to the hills and assist the first-aid patrollers
on a scheduled basis.
Go to our OnSnow First Page
for more details about this program and to register now.
The Canadian Ski Patrol System has a System-wide Advanced First-Aid Course, taught by qualified Instructors. The basic course content is the same right across the country, with some area-specific topics added at the Zone’s discretion. The level of your skiing or sliding ability must be equal or superior to the average ability at your local resort.
