Nordic Ski Patrol

Our ubiquitous Alpine (downhill) Ski Patrol brethren sometimes call it "Nerdic" Ski Patrol. But I fail to see how sitting on a lift, then letting gravity do all the work, qualifies our critics as "macho". They ride up, we ski up. They ski down, we ski down. We both promote ski safety.

What Is Nordic Ski Patrol And Why Should I Care?

What Is National Ski Patrol?

Over 25,000 members, mostly volunteers, nationwide.
