Ski Patrolling is demanding. Blue Mountain Ski Patrol (BMSP) is a member of the National Ski Patrol (NSP) and serve as ambassadors for Blue Mountain Ski Resort.
The Patrol functions as a team. The ability to undertake the duty assigned ensures that we are successful in serving the skiing public. Skills over and above First Aid and Skiing are diplomacy, people skills, and team work.
Patrolling can be fun and very rewarding knowing you have assisted with a guest misfortune. Sometimes we are appreciated, other times we are not. We enforce the skier’s code of conduct and Ski Area safety protocols. Diplomacy needs to prevail when safe snow sports policies are implemented.
Training
Being a Ski Patroller is a challenge never knowing situations we will find ourselves in. The training is very comprehensive, and continues annually with refresher course, practice sessions and annual recertifications.
The first year of patrolling is a candidate year, starts in June, and the attendance requirement is one night a week 7:30-10:00 p.m. working on the First Aid Training, theoretical and practical skills. There
