You might ask, what's in it for me besides the knowledge that you are assisting others in enjoying a wonderful sport and views like this at Sweep? Heavenly provides additional benefits for active National Patrollers. An Active Patroller is one who has put in a minimum of 14 patrols days the previous season. Each season's benefits for an individual patroller are based on the amount of service that patroller provided the previous season. Candidates do not usually become eligible for benefits until they pass their Basic Test.

Complimentary lift tickets
National Patrollers and candidates get free lift privileges for themselves while in uniform. Those that worked at least 14 days in the previous season are eligible to obtain a season pass for themselves and a family season pass for their dependents. Active Patrollers (but not candidates) also get a complimentary pass for any designated individual on the day that they are patrolling.

Food discounts
Patrollers will receive the same food discount privileges as Heavenly employees which is 50% off.

Tax benefits
If you itemize deductions on your federal tax return, your expenses while ski patrolling may be tax deductable as a charitable contribution. Consult your tax advisor. Expenses might include dues, transportation, lodging, meals and uniforms.

Other
Additional benefits include pro-form prices from various manufacturers, discounted gear and equipment at Heavenly Sports, discounts on group ski lessons, discounts on ski tuning, annual Heavenly swag, and of course NO LIFT LINES.
