Outdoor Emergency Care (OEC) serves as the standard of care for our volunteer ski patrollers. We provide a condensed training program tailored for individuals with medical backgrounds to acquaint them with the fundamentals of OEC. For those interested in pursuing a paid patroller position, while OEC training is not mandatory, prior medical experience in some capacity is required.

No prior medical experience? No problem! While having medical training such as EMT, Paramedic, RN, PA, or MD/DO is beneficial, it’s not mandatory to join the Lee Canyon Ski Patrol. We offer a comprehensive program called Outdoor Emergency Care (OEC) through the National Ski Patrol, specifically designed to train individuals in the medical aspects of ski patrolling. Many of our team members come from diverse backgrounds such as teaching, accounting, law enforcement, business ownership, and more, where their day-to-day jobs have no medical-related responsibilities.

While our name implies ‘ski patrol,’ skiing is not a requirement to join our team. At Lee Canyon, our patrol includes individuals who snowboard as well. Moreover, we welcome team members who do not ski or snowboard at all. These patrollers can often be found assisting guests in our base area or First Aid Room, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone on the mountain.
