The Ski Patrol’s primary focus is to provide rescue and first aid care to those who are injured or become sick while visiting Whitetail. All Ski Patrollers are trained to National Ski Patrol Outdoor Emergency Care standards. Ski Patrollers must be competent skiers or snowboarders, capable of descending all of the terrain at Whitetail with a rescue sled in tow. Outdoor Emergency Care training and sled handling training are provided to those Ski Patrol candidates that pass regularly scheduled ski/snowboard evaluations. If you are interested in joining the Ski Patrol please contact the Safety Director. The Whitetail Ski Patrol (WSP) is affiliated with the National Ski Patrol (NSP). Current Ski Patrollers interested in this opportunity should contact the Safety Director of their interest and availability well in advance of the season.
