Benefits

Considering joining the patrol? Patrolling is as rewarding as it is demanding. There are many benefits to patrolling, some tangible and some intangible. The tangible benefits are easy to list and can be nice benefits to have, but it is really the intangible benefits that draw most people to patrolling. For some it is the camaraderie and friendship among patrollers. For some it is helping others. For some it is being more involved in the resort community. Here is a list of just some of the benefits:

• Friendship
• Helping others
• Insider at the resort; first on the mountain, last off
• Loading the lift using the instructor/patrol line
• Tax deductions (expenses incurred from volunteer work for a charitable organization)
• Free lift passes (on the day you patrol, you ski free and receive two vouchers for your family and friends. Other passes are earned throughout the season)
• Pro-form discount on equipment
• Employee discounts on the hill (food, store, rentals, lessons, lockers, etc.)
