Dues
Our patrol is partially funded by membership dues; the annual dues for all Willamette Backcountry Patrol is $10.
For our members who are part of the National Ski Patrol, their dues paid to the Willamette Backcountry Patrol are $45 and includes: $10 for Willamette Backcountry Patrol, $15 for the Oregon Region, and $20 for the Pacific Northwest Divison. Annual dues to the National Ski Patrol are paid by members directly on NSP.org each December.
Dues can be paid by check or cash. Credit cards are also accepted with a small convenience fee to cover the fees assessed by the credit card processor.
How do we built & sustain a culture of safety in our patrols? Please join us in a series of workshops centered on building new skills, a foundation of awareness, and putting it all into practice to create a culture of safety.
