This Ski Patrol team is devoted to the jobs of being guardians and custodians of the many students who ski on the hill regularly. The patrollers are equipped with foundational first aid skills, using structured methods to assess the injuries that can put lives in peril. In recent times, the Patrol team has learned to rescue skiers off of a lift in case of an emergency involving lift malfunction. For each chairlift, an evac-chair is sent to it, and a small group of patrollers helps lower them down with precision. My experience in getting evacuated from a ski lift as part of the training was remarkable. Within 5-10 minutes, I was safely lowered to the ground, and not once did I feel scared as I was always reassured by fellow ski patrollers. Remember, you can have fun on the ski hill enjoying the exhilaration of going downhill, but always pay attention to your surroundings and ski safely.
