Diamond Peaks Ski Patrolers complete several classes including OEC, CPR for the Professional Rescuer, DPSP Backcountry Transport Training, Avalanche Level I and Mountain Travel Rescue I. Diamond Peaks Ski Patrol offers these courses throughout the ski season to candidate patrollers.
Becoming a patroller costs approximately $400 for course fees, books, membership dues and a first aid kit. In addition each patroller is expected to own good quality snow travel equipment, sufficient outdoor gear to spend a night in mountain winter conditions and an avalanche transceiver. The benefits of patrolling with Diamond Peaks Ski Patrol include skiing with others in some of Colorado’s finest powder while performing an important public service.
