BradFiAusNzCoCaI always thought Loveland had an unreal amount of patrollers. I would think “how do they have the budget for this??” Then I learned a lot were volunteers lol
ChunderfaceYeah I think they rely heavily on volunteer patrollers, but like only on the weekends and not at all on weekdays, which sucks because I only ski weekdays to avoid traffic. I dunno, the program seems like it would be a good way to eventually get into paid patrolling but it also seems super funny to me that you pay them to patrol for them.
RIP_leos_shackTruthfully it's just as easy to get into pro patrolling without being a volunteer. Just get your EMT and try out. As long as you're a good skier, most places are desperate for employees. You won't make much money but you'll have a blast doing it.
ChunderfaceWhat typically are the hours requirements for paid patrollers? Is it 40/week usually or does it just depend on the mountain?
