Ski Patrol Try-Outs for 2010/2011 Season

Now is your chance to join one of the top ski patrols in the county!  The main objectives to being a member of the Winter Park Ski Patrol are to assist in caring for injured skiers and making the mountain more enjoyable.  However, there are many more benefits. You'll have a great time skiing - from trail check - to evening sweep. You'll also have the opportunity to perfect outdoor emergency skills, outdoor survival and avalanche skills, and make friends that will last a lifetime!

STEP 1: Ski Ability Try-Outs for 2010-1011 season will be held on:

SATURDAY, MARCH 20 or SUNDAY, MARCH 28, 2010.

Please note that you must attend one of these sessions in order to be considered for the 2010-2011 patrol positions!

• Registration is at 8:00am at WEST PORTAL STATION and the testing will end around 1:00pm. No lunch break is provided.
• This test will be given on a variety of black diamond mogul runs. This is a physically demanding assessment on steep, extreme terrain, on variable conditions. Advanced/Expert Skiers only please. (Same test for employees or volunteers)
• Alpine skis or Telemark skis ONLY.
