Skiing Test

Whenever possible, we prefer to meet and ski with potential candidates the season before they apply for our program. Though we can provide some coaching, ski patrol candidates must be competent skiers, able to navigate all of Heavenly’s terrain with skill and confidence (and look good doing it!) under any foreseeable conditions. Because we must be prepared to negotiate this terrain during long evacuations towing a sled, fitness is also paramount.

NOTE: Patrolling on a snowboard is not allowed at Heavenly due to our variable terrain, some of which requires skating when pulling a sled.

If you are interested, contact Keith Neergaard to set up a time to meet with us.
