Ski patrol helped me when I was little, and now I get to help people on the mountain.
“When I was little, I fell on the mountain and ski patrol helped me get to the bottom on a sled. Ever since then I’ve wanted to be a ski patroler, and I loved my training. Now I am helping as a mountain host and get to help people that need it” - Master the Mountain Young Adult Patroler
