Taking volunteering to new heights! 

We’re a national, non-profit organization of over 5,500 men and women dedicated to promoting safe skiing – and to 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, organizational 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 ski patroller means you’ll be volunteering your services in exchange for lift tickets. You may join for the free skiing and stay for the friends.

And Ski Patrolling continues on throughout the summer! There are many opportunities for Ski 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!
