Ski Patrol Try-Outs for 2009/2010 Season

There is nothing more rewarding than putting in a hard day's work and having a great time doing it. 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. But there are many more benefits. You'll have a great time skiing - from trail check - to evening sweep. You'll perfect outdoor emergency skills, outdoor survival and avalanche skills, and make friends that will last a lifetime. You will be a member of one of the top patrols in the ski industry.  Now is your opportunity to join a select group.
