Since 1936, members of the Loveland's Volunteer Ski Patrol have worked with the area's full-time professional ski patrol to keep the slopes safe and care for injured and ill skiers. Both the pros and the volunteers are members of the National Ski Patrol (NSP).
The Volunteer Ski Patrol is always looking for advanced to expert alpine and telemark skiers, and riders who want to be a part of an organization dedicated to helping fellow skiers while enjoying America's favorite winter sport. The Patrol provides training in NSP Outdoor Emergency Care first aid and alpine toboggan training. Loveland's 160 volunteer patrollers are men and women aged 18 to 70+, married and single, all with an appreciation for each other and a love of skiing and boarding. The Patrol also sponsors a Young Adult Patroller program for youth age 15-18.
