Ski patrol? Pro skier? Lol, I can't help much with this, but I THINK for Ski Patrol they just teach you at the ski resort and I don't think it takes long

well for jobs where you are actually on your skis while on the clock; ski patrol, ski instructor, mountain safety, avalanche control and things like that you don't need to take college classes. EMT courses for patrol ofcourse, and things like PSIA training courses to get certs in instructing

there is a saying that gets resurfaced every time one of these threads comes up along the lines of:

"i got into the ski industry to ski more, and i got out of the ski industry to ski more."

i'm not saying it's not possible to have a skiing job and ski a lot, but it certainly won't be easy.

This.

Having a job related to the ski industry does NOT necessarily mean you'll get to ski a lot. In fact there are probably more jobs outside the ski industry that let you ski more than those within the industry.

Night jobs are where it's at if you want to ski. Any mountain position will start you at the bottom of the ladder.
