..this would be the skiing/boarding ability test to proceed and enter next season's candidate class. Classroom for Outdoor Emergency Care would begin in the off-season.

How many members does the ski patrol at WT have?

Is there a link that gives more info on the Ski Patrol at WT?

..a couple of us answering any questions here. I'll take this one. We've presently got about 75 active patrollers. It would be great to push that number more towards 100.

The patrol does have a website:
http://whitetailskipatrol.org/join

It's a basic one, but has further information about the process and the classroom medical training, Outdoor Emergency Care - the curriculum developed by National Ski Patrol. Although still to be determined, that will likely begin in the summer at a location in Montgomery County, MD.

I wrote this article way back in 1999.

It's the perspective from Liberty Patrol's set up, but it is similar to what our sister patrol, Whitetail does (at least I'm pretty sure it is!).

This Sunday....
