Western Region National Ski Patrol
Past Award Recipients, Graduates, National Appointments, and Region Directors

This page of history is dedicated to patrollers of the Western Region whose significant contributions "beyond the call of duty" have helped their Patrols and the NSP establish, maintain and improve our programs and services. Please let me know of any corrections or additions, especially Patrol affiliations for the award recipients. If you have any of the Western Region Awards issues from our newsletters for 1987, 1986, 1980, 1973, or prior to 1971, I'd really like to hear from you. Please let me know also if you have additional information for our recent "Western Region Class of ____" lists. Thanks!
