International Ski Patrol Day was created to recognize and celebrate the amazing individuals who keep everyone safe at ski and snowboard resorts across the world.

From dropping and setting of explosives to prevent avalanche hazards around the resort, rescuing/ helping injured guests, making sure terrain features and resort boundaries are clearly marked, and insuring the resort is safe for all skill levels and abilities, our patrollers do it all.

We are beyond grateful for everything they do in the Elk Valley!

Be sure to thank a ski patrol today!
