Keep mountains safe and rescue people in alpine terrain
Ski patrollers and mountain rescue technicians conduct avalanche control, respond to on-mountain emergencies, perform medical care, transport injured guests, and maintain safety across ski resort terrain in all weather conditions.
You arrive before dawn to check avalanche conditions, throw hand charges on steep chutes, open terrain as it's deemed safe, respond to an injured skier on a black diamond, splint a broken leg, toboggan the patient to the aid room, and finish the day with a lift evacuation drill. The mountain is your office.
