We are always on the lookout for new people!

We're a national, non-profit organization of over 5,000 men and women dedicated to promoting safe skiing - and enjoying the winter sports we love.

You probably know us by our trademark yellow and blue jackets. Ski patrollers can be found on hills and cross-country trails across Canada answering questions, ensuring a safe skiing environment and providing top-quality first aid services for injured skiers.

What you might not know is that the Canadian Ski Patrol is a great social organization and the perfect excuse to enjoy skiing on a regular basis!

Canadian ski patrollers come from diverse backgrounds. We're teachers, students, doctors, carpenters, bankers, retirees, lawyers - you name it. Our common links are: a love for skiing or boarding, and a desire to help others.

From the moment you join the Canadian Ski Patrol System, you'll be volunteering, learning, and skiing in a team environment. The 40-hour first aid course will give you unparalleled training in managing and treating injuries. You'll also become qualified in CPR and learn to safely move injured skiers from an accident site to the end of a trail or the bottom of a hill.

The leadership, organization, and communication skills you learn as member of the Canadian Ski Patrol System will be invaluable on and off the hill. And best of all, becoming a patroller means you'll be volunteering your services in exchange for lift tickets. You may join for the free skiing, but stay for the friends.

Also patrolling continues on throughout the summer! There are many opportunities for patrollers to not only help out, but get out, to some of summer's greatest events! A lot of patrollers are outdoor enthusiasts: mountain bikers, rock climbers, canoeists, and adventure racers! A lot of the events that we patrol at, we also participate in!
