Reason #1 to NOT join ski patrol

Jan 19

Posted by


Paperwork.  And lots of it.  Basically every resort has been sued so many times by idiots who do something dumb and blame it on the resort that every report you do is like a pre-trial discovery document.  If you patrol, you better get used to doing a lot of paperwork!  Touch a guest and you might end up filling out forms for another 30-60 minutes.  Be careful who you help!!!

By the time you graduate and get your bones, you will practically be a para-legal in the resort risk management department.

Not fun but part of the job.

About joinskipatrol

Chris is in his candidate year as rookie patroller in Southern California. While going through the OEC training he spent many a late night trying to find online resources about joining a ski patrol and came up short so he decided to share his experiences here so others might get interested and join the patrol also. If you find this helpful, please drop me a line. Good luck and hope you decide to sign up and go for the Patrol!
