Winter Park Junior Ski Patrol is a part of the greater Winter Park Ski Patrol. We are a group of high schoolers volunteering alongside other patrollers. We are based out of Winter Park, CO located just over an hour west of Denver.
On the mountain, we perform the same tasks as other patrollers such as adjusting closures, monitoring trail conditions, educating the public, and administering care to injured guests. We are members of National Ski Patrol (NSP) and are also certified Outdoor Emergency Care (OEC) technicians. Sound like fun?
