Junior Ski Patrol Day
Calling All Young Skiers!
Join the Powder Mountain Ski Patrol for a Junior Ski Patrol Day, where young skiers can spend a day learning what it takes to help keep the mountain safe. This special program gives kids the chance to ski with real patrollers, learn mountain safety skills, and get a behind-the-scenes look at how ski patrol operates.
Participants will rotate through hands-on activities led by members of the Powder Mountain Ski Patrol. Along the way, they’ll learn basic patrol skills, meet the people who help keep the mountain running safely, and build confidence on the slopes.
Junior Ski Patrol Day will include:
- Skiing with Powder Mountain Ski Patrollers
- Learning basic knot tying used in mountain operations
- Helping practice tower pad bumping (a classic patrol tradition!)
- Getting an introduction to avalanche rescue equipment
- Exploring some of the medical gear carried by patrollers
- Asking questions and meeting members of the patrol team
At the end of the day, each kid will receive a Junior Ski Patrol participation patch to commemorate their experience!
