Application for membership with the
National Ski Patrol Western Region
Why become a patroller?
Do you have what it takes?
Do you have a strong desire to help others?
Are you a lover of outdoor adventure and recreation?
Do you ski with passion?
When skiing isn't enough, patrollers ski with a purpose!		 Join the National Ski Patrol!

If these questions get your blood pumping, you may want to become a member of the National Ski Patrol. In preparation for their role working for an area, NSP members undergo rigorous Outdoor Emergency Care education and training, preparing them for outdoor rescue and safety operations year-round. There's nothing more rewarding than putting in a hard day's work-and having a good time doing it. Your main objective in being a National Ski Patrol member is to assist area management in caring for injured or ill people and in making mountain recreation safer and more fun. But, there are many other benefits. You'll be a respected member of the industry and community. You'll perfect your skills. And you'll make friendships that will last a lifetime.   Still interested?   Well then, so are we!

Please begin by selecting one or more ski areas at which you might like to patrol. (You may select more than one area, although the NSP will ask you to choose one area's Patrol as your primary registration.) Copies of your completed application will be e-mailed to the Ski Patrol Representatives (Directors) of the selected area(s).
