Mission:  The Ski Patrol at 49° North is committed to the highest quality first aid in a friendly, family oriented outdoor environment. 49° North Ski Patrol continually promotes safe skiing and snowboarding to the public in a sincere effort to reduce accidents and to make mountain sports more enjoyable.

Support Your Volunteer Ski Patrol! They are the ones in red coats, in the early morning hours setting up race fences, shoveling snow and working hard to make sure your experience at the mountain is safe and enjoyable.  Your Ski Patrol puts in many hours of training in order to take good care of you, should the need arise.  Please consider donating to the Ski Patrol. All proceeds go toward first aid supplies and equipment. Thank you!

History of National Ski Patrol: The National Ski Patrol (NSP), founded in 1938 by Charles M. (Minnie) Dole, had followed its creed of "Service and Safety" since the establishment of skiing as a popular sport in the United States. The NSP has become the largest winter rescue organization in the world. It is composed of more than 28,500 members serving over 600 ski patrols including volunteer, paid, alpine, snowboard and nordic patrollers throughout the United States and certain military areas in Europe.
